How YOU can Help!!!
Please consider volunteering some of your time this Spring / Summer / Fall.
The
Friends of Magee Marsh is in need of volunteers to help staff the Book
Store at the Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center. Can you spare a few hours
during the months of March through November? It's a lot of fun, you learn
about Ohio's wildlife and meet the most interesting people!
Book Store not your style, then how about helping pull Garlic Mustard at the Boardwalk?
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays - April 4 through May 27 excluding
May 11 through May 13.
DON'T FORGET YOUR BINOCULARS - this is the height of spring migration!
How about a couple of hours helping with the Beach clean ups? - The first on April 10 and the second September 18.

Goodbye and Welcome
A goodbye…
The Friends of Magee Marsh would like to thank Jim Damschroeder for his many years of dedicated service to the organization and its members.
Jim served us as President before stepping down in January 2010.
He led the group through a multitude changes and improvements while in office. During his watch many projects were completed including the landscaping around the Bird Center, transportation grants to schools, pull-offs along the road, improvements to the boardwalk and new lighting inside the Bird Center.
Jim was always looking for ways to improve and promote Magee Marsh. He gave to the group in so many ways; through his time, his donations, his example, and his skill at keeping the group focused.
We hope that he will not be a stranger at the Marsh. And one final thought… Will you pass your bird hat onto the new president or do we need to get another one? THANKS JIM! WE WILL MISS YOU! ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK IS MUCH APPRECIATED!! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
Thank you to our past Vice President, Vicki Secord, for your hard work and dedication to our cause.
A welcome…
Bill Seles and Sara Hanselman were appointed President and Vice President respectively at the February Friends of Magee Marsh meeting.
Welcome Bill and Sarah, we look forward to working with you!
Congratulations to you both as we move forward with the FRIENDS OF MAGEE MARSH.
