2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 19, 1985 Nearly 15 grand collected to save waterfowl 'Absolutely unbelievable Beyond our wildest expectations Those were just some of the words used by Michael Fowler to sum up his feelings of the first ever Ducks Unlimited (DU) fund raising dinner held in Port Perry last week The dinner at $30 a plate was at the Immaculate Conception Church Hall in Port Perry, and with 200 peo- ple attending was a complete sell- out. "Our target had been for 150 peo- ple, but as it turned out,we had to turn people away. The response was overwhelming," said Mr. Fowler, who along with Steve Hillier was co- chairman of this fund raising event, for the local chapter of Ducks Unlimited. Aside from the fact that 200 peo- ple attended the dinner, Mr. Fowler said the net profit from the evening will amount to almost $15,000. That's well above the $5000 profit target the committee set when this dinner was first being organized early this summer. The profits will all be turned over to the Ducks Unlimited, an interna- tional organization with extensive works in Canada to save and rehabilitate marshes and wetlands for breeding and habitat for ducks and all waterfowl Ducks Unlimited has been quiet- ly active in the Port Perry area over the past five years, and the organization has spent more than $120,000 on projects to enhance waterfowl breeding grounds Most of the net proceeds from the fund-raising dinner last week came from more than 40 raffle and spot prizes with values from $10 to $400 The patrons who attended the din- ner bought tickets for these prizes. And as well, there were 32 items up for auction, including some beautiful prints and two special edi- tion Ducks Unlimited shot-guns One of the prints up for auction en- titled 'Northern Spirits" by Bren- da Carter, was bought by local realtor George Stone for $600. And the DU limited edition Rem- ington 12 guage shot-gun fetched $1400 on the auction block from Scugog Island resident Chuck Dewhirst. Another special edition shot-gun this one a junior 20 guage model was bought by Larry Taylor for $470. who operates a service centre in Port Perry. Mr. Fowler told the Star he was especially gratified by the fact that more than half the patrons atten- ding the dinner were from the im- mediate Port Perry area with the rest coming from Oshawa, Picker- ing, Lindsay, Bowmanville and Peterborough. And many area businesses donated raffle prizes and paid for the framing of the many prints that went under the gavel of local auc- tioneer Don Cochrane. Mr. Fowler said the local chapter was more than pleased when several DU Canada executive members, including vice president Stewart Morrison from Winnipeg, were in attendance at the dinner. Clean noses in Scugog Motorists have been keeping their noses clean in the Port Perry area lately, at least in Ontario Provincial Police territory. Whitby OPP detachment reports only three single vehicle accidents in the south end of their district, which is far removed from Scugog Township.

Mr. Fowler said the success of the initial fund-raising dinner assures that it will now be an annual event, J Fe 2 Col CF 2 i Rts Lr oF 8S.
