FAREWELL

Due to life changes affecting our committee and declining attendance,

our luncheon in November, 2009 was our last fund-raising event.

We wanted to let ALL our supporters know

how important they have been to the

National Area Women's Chapter of Ducks Unlimited.

Thanks to those who supported our
24th - and FINAL - Luncheon on November 7, 2009,
over $9,500 was raised at that event for Ducks Unlimited.
Our committee is very proud of the fact that we have raised

over $300,000.00

since our first luncheon in 1986.

We wish you a safe and prosperous New Year 2010

and hope to see you at other Ducks Unlimited events in the future.

to his own small world: a cozy stone cabin warmed by a hearth
fire and the promise of comfort at day’s end.”
