2013 Refuge Friends “Fly In”
Dear Friends,
Please join the National Wildlife Refuge Association on Tuesday, April 16 and Wednesday, April 17, 2013, in Washington D.C. to urge your members of Congress to protect funding for the National Wildlife Refuge System!
Come to Washington D.C. and let Congress know that you and your community want to protect funding for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Congress needs to know the affects budget cuts are having on wildlife conservation and your local economy.
Your lawmakers need to hear from you, here in Washington D.C., as to why your refuge is important to you and your community.
Please plan to arrive Monday, April 15th. Advocacy training will be Tuesday morning from 8am to noon. We’ll spend Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday on the Hill and meeting with key members of the Administration.
Southwest Airlines has generously donated tickets to NWRA that will be available to Friends groups near airports they service. Please budget for all other expenses.
If you have immediate questions, and to let us know you plan to attend, please contact Joan Patterson at jpatterson@refugeassociation.org or 202.290.5594.
Regards,
Joan
