The San Diego Greenwing program recognizes that the future of wetlands will be determined by the children of today. It is our mission to provide opportunities that encourage families to enjoy the outdoors together while creating an awareness of the need to preserve the wetlands we so enjoy!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15577949517437948412noreply@blogger.comBlogger71100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951631325961017740.post-5519636112593198872009-09-20T15:14:00.000-07:002009-09-20T15:15:07.537-07:00We had another successful Greenwing Picnic at the Greenhead Club in Pine Valley! Thank you to everyone: participants, parents, volunteers, and sponsors. <div><br /></div><div>We enjoyed another day of raffles, silent auctions, youth shooting, BBQ lunch, fishing, and family fun!<br /><br />The purpose of the event was to earn money for DU conservation efforts and to expose children to exciting outdoor experiences. We believe that goal was accomplished. The children had opportunities to learn about gun safety and how to shoot in a safe, controlled environment. Parents shared their children's excitement and wonder as they discovered a new sport or refined skills. </div><div><br /></div><div>Again thank you for supporting such a wonderful cause. We look forward to another great event next year ... any volunteers?? :) <br /><br />For the ducks,<br /><br />Cynthia and Melissa<br />Co-Chairs</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951631325961017740-551963611259319887?l=sdgreenwing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15577949517437948412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951631325961017740.post-2099864532945046862007-08-20T11:19:00.000-07:002009-04-27T19:22:10.521-07:00We installed wood duck boxes at Lake Cuyamaca!
