WISCONSIN WATERFOWL ASSN RAFFLE NEEDS HELP, CAN YOU??

We Need Your Help Selling Out the Truck Raffle!!

Don Kirby, Executive Director, 262.224.4949   Dear Roger P,  We appreciate you taking a moment to review the current and upcoming events with your Association. Thanks to all the volunteers from the Chilton, Fox Valley, and Lakeshore chapters who helped us pull off our first Spring Shoot at Joe's Clays on Saturday. We had nearly 60 rounds shot, and 22 rounds of flurry shoot, at this new venue. The next shooting event is at the end of June, and then two events, in the 3rd week of July. The "grand finale" for our shoot series, the "Hunter's Eve Bash", will move again this year, to the gorgeous Waverly Beach, located on the south side of Neenah, on the shores of Lake Winnebago. It'll be a great "end of summer" party, the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend. We'll give away the grand prize Browning vault, plus a bunch of other cool stuff, including the sweet Packers tailgate set that we didn't get to use at the weather-canceled Madison shoot. Please mark your calendars, and plan to join us that night. I'll need a handful of helpers, but if you just want to relax, and you've attended any of the shoots, it'll be just $20 for free beer & great eats. That's where we'll also give away the Chevy Heaven raffle, if we can sell enough tickets. The truck raffle seems to be off to a bit of a slow start, at least based on tickets/monies turned in, and we're entering a key time, with Father's Day gift  buying coming up soon, plus plenty of people going to college graduation celebrations. Although we've got more than 1,000 tickets out in the hands of sellers, I'd still like to get more out there, especially as I prepare to put their availability into some Facebook advertising. Please let me know if you'd like to join our selling volunteers. Like the Conservation Calendar, the truck raffle has the potential to make us HUGE money, if we can maximize its potential. Remember, WWA will incentivize our volunteer sellers/chapters in two ways: Any sales made by a chapter volunteer, with stubs & monies sent in to Kelcy by: NOON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24th, will be recognized at their sold value, towards their selected chapter's SUPER GOAL for 2018. For every 25 ticket stubs and monies turned in to Kelcy, by: NOON, MONDAY, JULY 30th, (30 days prior to drawing), the volunteer seller will receive an entry (1) into a drawing for this WWA prize package: A Cabela's 2017 State Sponsor set: 2 Cabela's folding rocking chairs/ 1 folding table/soft cooler/lantern, PLUS: 2 FA small field bags, 2 WWA logo caps of your choosing, & 2 FREE entries   to the WWA Hunter's Eve Bash event at Waverly Beach, August 30th!! The committee continues to push forward on the 2019 - 10th Anniversary Conservation Calendar, which is still expected to be distributed, right after the 4th of July holiday week, as it has been the past couple years. Watch for further updates on this, as we get closer. Finally, at last night's Board of Director's conference call, the board made the decision to seek appointees to fill out the remaining terms for two directors who've resigned their positions over the last 90 days. Each of these terms has about 18 months remaining, so they would provide an excellent opportunity for someone to "try on" the role, without making the full three-year commitment of a regular term. If you're interested in learning more about these opportunities, please call board president, Bruce Urben, at 920-660-2773. Thanks for all you do, your effort makes the Association, and all that habitat work, possible...
