NACC’s next meeting to be held on Wednesday, November 9, at 7 pm in the club house.
It is November, the leaves are falling, a little chill in the air and the busy summer is behind us, but here at the conservation club we are looking for members to get more involved and make us a better club in the future. This month our club opens nominations for the 2023 Election of officers and trustees. Nominations are being accepted at this meeting in November and the next December meeting prior to the election taking place. If you or if you know of anyone interested in serving the organization in this capacity, please come forward. We are always looking to better the organization for our members.
NACC is looking for 15 or more children in the 5th or 6th grade who would be interested in attending the Indiana Conservation Officer Organization – ICOO Karl Kelly Youth Conservation Camp, which will be held this coming summer in June (usually the third week) for 7 days. NACC will select children who sign up by February 1, 2023. The cost of the camp is paid for by NACC. If your child, nephew, niece or grandchildren like outdoor adventure, this camp is a must for them. It is a full week of fun that they will enjoy and remember for a long time. You can check out their website, www.icoo.com where you can view past information at this time and after the first of year, the new information will be available, as in the past. Remember all registration must go through the NACC for us to pay. Providing the child’s name, a contact person and phone number and e-mail address are essential to enter and complete our camp forms. CONTACT NACC secretary, Dale Back at backdale@gmail.com or text 812-212-2601 to register. Don’t wait to long, we already have 3 campers on the list!
