"The Hiawathaland Council, Boy Scouts of America, greatly appreciates the $9,000 matching grant that you provided to replace the rifle range at Camp Hiawatha. Thank you for helping us to teach youth safe and responsible use of firearms." Dewey G. Jones, Scout Executive Marquette, Michagan "On behalf of the Comanche Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America, thank you for the $2,250 in grant money, which will fund the completion of our new rifle range. This gift has made it possible to complete the range construction, train our field sports director and provide supplies for this year's camp." Eric Howell, Scout Executive, Brownwood, Texas "Thank you for the $5,000 sponsorship of the Texas Wildlife Expo. We appreciate your support and invite you to attend this year's event to see, first hand, how your contribution will be spent. Also, thank you for the privilege earlier this year to attend the Weatherby Foundation International Award Dinner in Reno and to have a chance to brief the Board of Directors on the Texas Wildlife Expo. As a result of that visit, Dave Lockman of the Wyoming Fish and Game Department and I have co-authored a "how to" manual on presenting outdoor expositions. It's the Weatherby Foundation's initiative to which this can be attributed." Ernie Gammage, Director Texas Wildlife Expo "On behalf of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission and the Parks and Wildlife Foundation of Texas Inc., thank you for your support of Texas Wildlife Expo 2003. Because of your support, over 46,000 Texans learned about outdoor recreation and the products, services, opportunities and organizations essential to their outdoor experience." Andrew Sansom, Executive Director Texas Parks and Wildlife "On behalf of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, I wish to thank Weatherby Foundation International for its $5,000 sponsorship pledge toward production of the 2003 Wyoming Hunting and Fishing Heritage Exposition." Dave Lockman Wyoming Expo Coordinator "On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Museum of the Rockies, Inc., I want to send you my personal thanks for the contribution received in the amount of $5,000. The money has been designated for our upcoming exhibit, Weapons that Changed the West." Marilyn F. Wessell, Dean and Director Museum of the Rockies "It is with great pride and appreciation that the Weatherby Collectors Association Youth Program accepts the generous $4,000 grant from the Weatherby Foundation International. These funds will be used in direct support of our efforts to provide our youth with the knowledge, information and skills needed to become future stewards of our outdoor heritage." R.P. Musselman, Program Director Weatherby Collectors Association Youth Program "Thank you for your generous support of Oregon's Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program. It was a huge success. The financial support you provided allowed us to offer scholarships to several of the women in attendance and reduce the overall registration fee for everyone. The money was also used to cover the costs of supplies and materials necessary for the classes that were offered." Nancy Smogor, BOW Program Coordinator Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
