Her Story,
Unbelieveable experience! What a learning opportunity.
I want to whole heartedly thank the Central Wisconsin Chapter for sponsoring my SCI - Wyoming experience last week. I have always been a wildlife conservationist and admirerer, however SCI has provided me a new viewpoint, a new enlightenment, and a new appreciation and understanding for how all the pieces of people, animals, and the environment fit together for the best balance for all. I learned an amazing amount of information. The teachers were fabulous. I had never shot a gun before. I can now. I had never experienced archery, but now am certified to bring this lifelong outdoor/ or indoor sport to the schools. I want to continue to learn more about SCI and its connection to the natural environment. Thank you and the Central Wisconsin Chapter for sponsoring me on this learning adventure.
Thank you again for a learning experience of a lifetime. Hey, I'm a pretty good shot and hope to start out with turkey hunting! :)
Very sincerely and thankful, Gail Roth, Kennedy School, Junction City, WI
