IWLA Pledge
To strive for the purity of water, the clarity of air, and the wise stewardship of the land and its resources; To know the beauty and understanding of nature, and the value of wildlife, woodlands, and open spaces; To the preservation of this heritage and to man’s sharing in it, I pledge myself as a member of the Izaak Walton League of America.
A Bit of History
The Arlington-Fairfax Chapter was chartered by the Izaak Walton League of America in February 1936. The Chapter was incorporated as a “not organized for profit” corporation under Virginia law on March 4, 1947. After that the Internal Revenue Service of the US Department of Treasury approved the chapter as a “nonprofit” educational corporation for tax purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Federal Tax Code.
