Stories of Southeastern Sportswomen
Thursday, January 21, 2021, 6:30-7:30 PM EST
Artemis is planning a launch event for the Southeast Region! Join them virtually for an evening of stories from the field and water. Laugh, cringe, and nod along as four incredible women recount some of their most meaningful experiences in the field. There will be time to ask questions of the storytellers and to talk about your own hunting and fishing journey. They will also talk about what an Artemis Ambassador does and how you can apply to be one.

Business Partner Spotlight:
Lilleys' Landing Resort & Marina
Lilleys’ Landing Resort and Marina in Branson, Missouri, may be just the year-round spot you’re looking for! Our guests have convenient access to both the tourist sites and the restive Ozarks waterfront along Lake Taneycomo. We are nestled between gently sloping pasture land and the 300-foot bluffs on the opposite bank. The grounds are buffered to traffic bustle, even though the famed Highway 76 “strip” is just two miles away.

Ozark Outdoors
Purchase this book by Dr. Mark Morgan, and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC)!
Hunting and fishing are engrained in American culture. However, the true value of outdoor sports is far greater than retail sales, annual licenses and permits, or the number of participants. It's about the experience. Folklore is a powerful way to stabilize cultural practices and traditions. Conversations could begin at home, the workplace, or in the classroom, so start one today!
The book is available online in the CFM Store!
