HOUGHTON -- The Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District (HKCD) will hold its Annual Meeting, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 10, in the first floor conference room of the UPPCO Building, 600 East Lakeshore Drive, Houghton (down the hill from the Library bar and restaurant).

The meeting will include presentations on the District's 2007 Accomplishments and the 2008 Budget Challenge. The Annual Election will also be held for one position on the HKCD Board.

"We are planning a Pot Luck Dinner including pizza and have some quality merchandise for our Silent Auction," said Sue Haralson, HKCD administrator.

The Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District, which began more than 50 years ago, is one of eighty-two districts in the state of Michigan. HKCD helps local people find answers to their land management questions by linking them with natural resource professionals, products and services. A Board of Directors, consisting of elected community volunteers, makes decisions about conservation programs and services and hires qualified staff to conduct and carry them out.
