Kindersley DU chapter celebrates 40th anniversary

By Joan Janzen

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Kindersley Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada. The occasion will be celebrated on October 14th at the Kindersley Inn when the group extends an invitation to their annual conservation dinner and auction.

Everyone is invited to dress up or accessorize in their finest ruby red for the 40th Ruby theme. Tickets include a fully catered supper, an open bar and chances to win door prizes. Live and silent auction items cater to outdoor enthusiasts and include decoys, trips, limited edition prints, special edition Ducks Unlimited Canada firearms and much more.

Last year’s event raised $30,000, and expectations are high that this amount will be matched once again on their 40th-year celebration. Funds stay in Saskatchewan, where DU focuses on maintaining the habitats for the creatures who call it their home. Proceeds go towards preserving and restoring wetlands in the area.

If you are unable to attend the dinner and auction, you are asked to please consider making a tax-deductible cash donation to DU Canada, sponsoring an item in their live or silent auction and/or donating a piece of merchandise to assist in their fundraising efforts.
