Hi, All...
Does anyone have an idea as to a specific project for PFF volunteers? The attached email describes grant availability from FFF coffers. Maybe an inquiry of the entire club membership would be in order.
Thanks and I'll see you at the Christmas Dinner.

Once again, National FFF will be awarding grants for conservation projects in 2003. Some of the available funds will be awarded for projects from clubs in the regional Councils.
If your club has a conservation project that you think might be a candidate, please contact me ASAP. I can help you assess the odds of success and get the forms to you. (The forms are easy to fill out). These projects will be reviewed in early January, and the sooner a project is submitted, the more attention it gets. In any case, I would need your completed form by Dec 15th at the latest.
The typical grant is $500-$2000. Larger grants are not impossible, but the competition is tougher.
In assessing the projects, key criteria are:
Once the project is completed, a follow up report (also simple) will be required to summarize the results.
Please give this some careful thought. Thanks.
