Don't Be Shy: Show us your Ranger! Send us a selfie of you holding your copy of Ranger magazine or send us a photo of you giving it away to a non-member and inviting them to join ANPR! We’ll publish your photos in the upcoming editions of Ranger or post them on Facebook, depending on space and the number of photos we receive. Make sure to take high resolution photos. Send them to rangermag.editor@gmail.com. There's no expiration date — this offer is ongoing! (And remember...always play it safe — we won't publish anything that suggests otherwise of a ranger.)

Help Send Someone to Ranger Rendezvous The Bill Supernaugh Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by his family to help early career employees attend their first Ranger Rendezvous. ANPR has already raised $2800 to help support 8-9 scholarship winners. We'd love to receive at least $3000 in donations this year so that we can support over 10 attendees! Please help us reach our goal by donating at www.anpr.org. Your generous contributions are greatly appreciated!
