GILLESPIE - The Highball Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is gearing up for its annual dinner auction. The banquet will be on March 11th at the Gillespie Civic Center in Gillespie, Illinois. Numerous local businesses and individuals have donated and underwritten many auction items and prizes. Our chapter takes pride in ensuring that entire families can enjoy a night out in support of such a worthy cause. All money collected will go to the preservation of our precious wetlands, many of those projects currently being completed in this area.
The Highball Chapter has volunteers, members, and donors from all over. Woodworker, Walter Hemberger from Brighton, graciously donated a Jack Daniels barrel table. Scot Storm boasts the sponsor print this year and signed prints and gear for the banquet. Victory Lane sponsored many items in support of Ducks Unlimited for silent and live auctions. Businesses from Mt. Olive, Staunton, Benld, Troy, Hamel, Prairietown, Alton, Carlinville, Litchfield, and many more continue to underwrite and support the Highball Chapter. Building relationships with area businesses has allowed us to grow and provide an amazing dinner auction.
