Safari Club International - Lehigh Valley Chapter

In 1977, after hearing about a new organization called Safari Club
International, a small group of hunters from Lehigh Valley decided
to form a local chapter. With the leadership and direction of the
founding President, Cook Schiavone, the Lehigh Valley Chapter
of Safari Club International was born. Their main objectives were
to support hunter's rights and show the local community how impor-
tant hunters are to the preservation of wild animals.

By 1993 membership had hit in excess of 300 and was still growing.
The Lehigh Valley Chapters' accomplishments were climbing and we
became well known and supported in the surrounding community.

Membership had grown to well over 600 by the end of 2002. We
have partnered with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, as well as
with many other organizations, helping to fund new projects such as
purchasing new hunting properties, helping to make the elk manage-
ment and hunting program a reality, feeding the hungry by supplying
much needed harvested meat to many food banks and many other
projects in a list too long to mention here.

We are proud to say the Lehigh Valley Chapter is still growing. If
you are a resident of the Lehigh Valley, and surrounding area, and
have a passion for hunting and the outdoors, why not make a
difference in your community and join us?

Lehigh Valley Chapter - SCI & Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
LVSCI works through the VFW in Kansas City, Missouri to qualify and select disabled veterans for fully sponsored antelope hunts. LVSCI pays the total cost of the hunts with Doonan Gulch Outfitters of Brodus, Montana. These veterans would most likely never get the opportunity to hunt if LVSCI did not support them.
	To date, we have sent 23 veterans on the antelope hunt. We would like to thank these brave veterans for their out- standing service to our country, and congratulate them on their successful hunts. Click images for larger view
