Message:

*The Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) will meet in Anchorage on November 14, 1994, beginning at 8:30am at the Captain Cook Hotel.

*Agenda items for the FSB meeting include the review and discussion of customary and traditional use determinations for the Kenai Peninsula and the upper Tanana River region.

*Another item on the agenda is the “Designated Hunter” option. Debate centers on whether to use existing State of Alaska harvest tags, permits, and licences or shift to a federal harvest permit system. Both options would allow another qualified rural resident to hunt for you.

Carol has been descibed as…”simply an outstanding performer, leader, and person.”
