MENARD COUNTY DUCKS UNLIMITED CHAPTER

 February 10, 2023

Dear Ducks Unlimited Member:

Your Menard County Ducks Unlimited (DU) Committee is planning the 42ndAnnual Dinner and Live Auction.  This is 

a DU event everyone looks forward to.  Great food, good friends, and outstanding prizes including guns, decoys, and unique artwork, will be present.  

PLEASE NOTE:  There will not be any dinner ticket sales at the door the night of the event.  

We will have a Tiered General Raffle with various items and several guns. There will also be a Silent Auction with many unique items. The Live Auction will have several prints, decoys, and other great items found only at DU events. A special ‘Bronze Sponsor Only’ gun raffle will be held again this year(choice from an eight (8) gun banner will be drawn for every 10 sponsors).  As always, there will be a Ladies Table and a Greenwing Table.  The Duck Call Raffle gun will be the Benelli SBE3 28 Gauge (2023 Shotgun of the Year).

The Menard County Ducks Unlimited Committee works very hard to make this an affordable dinner for its members. The price of a ticket includes dinner and one year membership to Ducks Unlimited, the largest wetland and waterfowl conservation organization. With your membership, you will add strength to the conservation of over 12 million acres of wetlands across North America.

This year we are giving our attendees/members the option to underwrite merchandise.  If an individual or business chooses to participate in underwriting, their name or business name will be in the banquet program next to the specific product and will also be announced at the banquet when the item is up for auction/drawing.  Please contact any committee member listed below if you or your business is interested in underwriting merchandise that we will have at the banquet.
