About Safari Club International - Northern Michigan Regional Chapter
Northern Michigan Regional Chapter of Safari Club International is a 501 C (4) tax exempt organization. The Chapter was chartered by Safari Club International in 1998. The Chapter operates with a volunteer staff – there are no paid employees. The Chapter is based in Alpena, Michigan but the Chapter’s membership list includes individuals from locations all over northern Michigan, a number of states within the US, seven Canadian Provinces, Mexico, New Zealand and South Africa.
The Northeast Michigan Chapter has four primary project focuses: Safari Wish - designed for young people who are critically ill and/or who are challenged physically or mentally; Michigan Heroes – designed to provide a hunting experience for active duty service men and women who have been deployed to the Middle East; Sportsmen Against Hunger – designed to provided processed wild game to homeless and/or economically disadvantaged individuals in northern Michigan; and, educational programs designed to expose young people to the out-of-doors and to teach them about the role that hunting plays in wildlife conservation. All Chapter activities are currently funded with resources generated by the Chapter’s annual auction/banquets and donations from Chapter members.
“Into the Wild” will be the 14th annual banquet/auction of the Northeast Michigan Chapter – Safari Club International. “Into the Wild” is scheduled for March 2 and 3, 2012 at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa near Traverse City, Michigan. We welcome the participation of both members and non-members. More information about this fund-raising program can be found on the Chapter’s website – www.nemisci.com.
