The Portage Wildlife Club's making connections with other related organizations, including STARS Air Ambulance. President Rod Gladue says they recently donated $1000 to STARS.

"A while back we had a successful banquet in the fall," says Gladue. "And we decided to take some of the funds and spread them out between organizations that we thought we would help. And with us, everybody being outdoor people, we thought here's a chance to put something toward STARS."

He notes if they're every stranded in the outdoors for any reason, it would likely be STARS who'd come with assistance.

Gladue says the Wildlife Club's about a year old now, with almost 100 members, and they do just about anything related to the outdoors like hunting and fishing. They own their own hunting lodge they called Young Husband's Lodge at Delta Marsh. Gladue adds the club's continually growing.
