"On behalf of the Comanche
Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America, thank you for the $2,250 in grant
money, which will fund the completion of our new rifle range. This gift
has made it possible to complete the range construction, train our field
sports director and provide supplies for this year's camp."

"Thank you for the $5,000
sponsorship of the Texas Wildlife Expo. We appreciate your support and
invite you to attend this year's event to see, first hand, how your
contribution will be spent.
Also, thank you for the privilege
earlier this year to attend the Weatherby Foundation International Award
Dinner in Reno and to have a chance to brief the Board of Directors
on the Texas Wildlife Expo. As a result of that visit, Dave Lockman
of the Wyoming Fish and Game Department and I have co-authored a "how
to" manual on presenting outdoor expositions. It's the Weatherby
Foundation's initiative to which this can be attributed."
Ernie Gammage, Director
Texas Wildlife Expo
"On behalf of the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Commission and the Parks and Wildlife Foundation
of Texas Inc., thank you for your support of Texas Wildlife Expo 2003.
Because of your support, over 46,000 Texans learned about outdoor recreation
and the products, services, opportunities and organizations essential
to their outdoor experience."
Andrew Sansom, Executive
Director

"On behalf of the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department, I wish to thank Weatherby Foundation International

"It is with great pride
and appreciation that the Weatherby Collectors Association Youth Program
accepts the generous $4,000 grant from the Weatherby Foundation International.
These funds will be used in direct support of our efforts to provide
our youth with the knowledge, information and skills needed to become
future stewards of our outdoor heritage."
R.P. Musselman, Program Director
Weatherby Collectors Association Youth Program
"Thank you for your
generous support of Oregon's Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program.
It was a huge success. The financial support you provided allowed us
to offer scholarships to several of the women in attendance and reduce
the overall registration fee for everyone. The money was also used to
cover the costs of supplies and materials necessary for the classes
that were offered."
Nancy Smogor, BOW Program
