The Highball Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is gearing up for its annual dinner auction. The banquet will be on March 14th at the Crystal Ballroom in Staunton, 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. Local artist, Rodney Martin from Godfrey, donated two original waterfowl paintings and a couple of prints. Victory Lane sponsored many items in support of Ducks Unlimited. Businesses from Mt. Olive, Staunton, Benld, Troy, Hamel, Prairietown, Alton, Carlinville, Litchfield, Bethalto, and many more continue to underwrite and support the Highball Chapter. Phillip’s 66 annually contributes to our cause. Building relationships with area businesses has allowed us to grow and provide an amazing dinner auction for families who want to make a difference.
