I am writing to invite you to
a lunch meeting in Demopolis
to discuss a new project in
Alabama called Hunting Works
for Alabama.
On Monday, Dec. 5, a coali-
tion of small businesses and
organizations will be holding a
luncheon meeting and lunch-
eon at 11:30 a.m. in Rooster
Hall on the public square in
Demopolis to discuss the
incredible impact of hunting on
the economy of Alabama. For
instance, did you know that the
economic impact of hunting in
Alabama is more than $1.8 bil-
lion each year, spent in restau-
rants, hotels, gas stations, con-
venience stores, truck dealers,
tire stores, ATV dealers and
much much more!
The coalition, called
Hunting Works in Alabama
was launched in September,
and already has grown to more
than 75 local businesses and
organizations including local
Chambers of Commerce and
tourism bureaus. Its mission is
to highlight this information so
that the public knows the con-
nection between hunting, job
creation, and much more.
It is our hope that you will
join us to hear more about this
exciting project that brings real
attention to the economy of
this region of the state.
I hope the Democrat
Reporter will be able to have
someone join us. Please RSVP
to Rob Sexton, coordinator for
Hunting Works at rtsstrate-
gies@gmail.com.

Hunting Works for Alabama

Thank you,
Rob Sexton, Coordinator
Hunting Works for
Alabama.
