Projects
A committee has been formed, the role of which will be to choose on-site projects to benefit the refuge. These projects will enable members and volunteers to become acquainted with the various refuge units and each other. If you're interested in being on the committee or in volunteering for a project, contact Jerry Bertrand (
, 318-868-3255) or Nancy Menasco (
, 318-868-3255).
