FY 2008-2009 Annual Report SCCF Annual Report 2008-2009 Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation We wish we could enclose a cup of coffee with this year’s Annual Report. That’s right, a cup of coffee. Why you may ask? Because we know if you could take an hour, maybe less, to read this report over a nice cup of joe, it would give you countless answers to the question: “Why am I part of the SCCF Family?”” You would read about the unique role we are playing to ensure that local, state, and federal natural resource policy and regulation do not harm what we have worked so hard to protect for the last 42 years. Across different program areas, you would read how our Wildlife Habitat Management, Native Plant Nursery, Sea Turtle Conservation, and Marine Research Laboratory professionals are working daily to protect the land on and the water around Sanibel and Captiva - and the wildlife and islanders who call this special place home. You would read how our environmental educators are multiplying the number of individuals and generations who have gained a passion for conservation by attending our thoughtful, informative and fun programs. You would read about all the Foundation’s activities for Fiscal Year July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009, a time in the nation’s history which challenged everyone, every business and every nonprofit organization. The Foundation wasn’t immune, but the combination of belt-tightening and diehard member support allowed us to end the year in the black and continue making significant progress in all program areas. If you could take the time to read the Annual Report and familiarize yourself with our work in this past year, we feel strongly it will motivate you to support us once again this year. Hold on a minute. Here’s an idea. Come by the Nature Center any weekday with your Annual Report. We’ll show you to one of our comfortable porch rocking chairs and run to the kitchen for you. Regular or decaf? Happy reading. We couldn't do it without you, Bill Fenniman Erick Lindblad President, Board of Directors Executive Director www.sccf.org Page 1 Board of Directors & Staff The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of natural resources and wildlife habitat on and around Sanibel and Captiva.

    Todd Gutterman - President Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the 2021 Minnesota Selects Hockey Festival! I want to acknowledge the events of the past 18 months. We have all faced many unforeseen challenges, both within and beyond the hockey world. For the safety of everyone involved, the Minnesota Selects Executive Board made the difficult decisions to cancel the 2020 Festival and delay the 2021 Festival until now. While the dates have changed for this year, players and fans will still enjoy many of the features that have made our Festival great since its debut in 1989: * No gate fee. * High-quality jerseys with player names lettered on the back. * Saturday’s Skills Competition (a fan fave!) with prizes. * Sunday’s awards program, including individual player recognition and a strong focus on recognizing our student athletes. * The college-level program with a complete history of the Festival’s participants. * A weekend of great competition, excitement, and fun! On behalf of Minnesota Selects, I want to thank our 680 players and the coaches, families, friends, and volunteers for all the time, planning, and commitment it takes to make our tournament the success that it is and always has been. It’s been a long wait, but we are excited to be back for our 33rd year!

  • 1 Women's Civic Inclusion and the Bill of Rights1 Professor Gretchen Ritter
    Women’s Civic Inclusion and the Bill of Rights1 Professor Gretchen Ritter University of Texas at Austin [email protected] January 2008 (Note to “schmooze” workshop participants, University of Maryland School of Law, March 7 – 8, 2008: For a quick tour of this paper, I recommend that you read the introduction [pp.1-6], skim the section on religion [pp. 9 – 23], and read the conclusion [pp. 30-34].) Prepared for inclusion in Linda C. McClain and Joanna L. Grossman, eds., Dimensions of Women’s Equal Citizenship 1 The author wishes to thank Joanna Grossman, Gary Jacobsohn, Linda McClain, and John Robertson for their excellent comments and suggestions on this essay. 1 The Bill of Rights is often cited as foundation of the American rights conscious culture and as a central instrument in the protection and expansion of liberty and popular sovereignty in the United States. Yet, for women, the Bill of Rights has rarely played a significant role in advancing claims of civic inclusion or public citizenship. Instead, women’s rights advocates have turned primarily to the Fourteenth Amendment in their efforts to bolster women’s individual rights and civic standing under the American constitution. The failure to use the Bill of Rights as a rights claiming instrument for women comes despite the Bill’s role (as suggested by Akhil Reed Amar) in fostering civil society as well as individual rights. This essay reconsiders the problematic relationship of women’s rights advocates to the Bill of Rights and contends that the Bill has served as both an instrument for preserving gender hierarchy and a foundation for claims of public voice for women.
