The 2011 event was a huge success. So successful that the Darke
County DU chapter will be making a “Run for the Gold.” The local
chapter has already been awarded the Bronze DU Presidential Citation
Award (2010) as well as the Silver DU Presidential Citation Award
(2011). To achieve the Gold Presidential Citation Award the
chapter must show a 5% growth in attendance and a 5% growth in
fundraising for the third consecutive year. This award has NEVER
been won in the state of Ohio! Please come out and support your local
DU chapter make history!
Ducks Unlimited is the world’s leader in wetlands and waterfowl
conservation. Ducks Unlimited conserves, restores, and manages wetlands
and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl. These habitats
also benefit other wildlife and people. Ducks Unlimited got its start
in 1937 during the Dust Bowl when North America’s drought-plagued
waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows. Determined not
to sit idly by as the continent’s waterfowl dwindled beyond recovery, a
small group of sportsmen joined together to form an organization that
became known as Ducks Unlimited. Our mission: habitat conservation.
Help us celebrate DU’s 75th birthday!
Hope to see you there.
