Read MoreFor the last 78 years, our Izaak Walton chapter has hosted the Feather Party as our single most important fundraising event of the year. This year, we are rebranding it as the "Fall Festival" (although it might feel a little bit more like winter at the moment) to encourage the entire family to come along for the festivities.
Don't worry! There will plenty of opportunities to win your Thanksgiving Turkey as well as a silent auction, guessing games and other fun for everyone. The event is on Friday, November 15th from 6-9 pm at the clubhouse and children and families are encouraged!
Cost is only $10 and includes a sausage dinner. Kids can enter for free but will be charged $10 if they want a sausage dinner. Drinks beyond water, tea, and coffee will be available for an extra cost at the cash bar.
We need your help!
We spent $45,000 on our new driveway and $10,000 on the caretaker's house this year. We are trying to offset these costs. You can help in many ways. We need silent auction item donations, tax exempt monetary donations, and most importantly come and HAVE FUN with the whole family, guests and friends.
If you have an item you would like to donate to the auction, volunteers for the event are planning to be at IWL at about 6:30 pm on Thursday, Nov 14 to set-up for the event and to review the items donated for the silent auction. This would be a good time to bring your donated silent-auction item to IWL. Also, if anyone would like to help with the event, that would be a good time to come to IWL to help us get ready for the event.
We welcome back Mr. John Manuszak from our own chapter of Izaak Walton on Wednesday, October 16th. John will discuss the importance of insects, along with fascinating facts and myths about them. He will explain how to adapt to living in harmony with them. Just recently, the Bee was declared the most important living being on our planet. Bee and Bird populations have been on the decline. How is this affecting us? Do not miss this event. See you at the IKES!
Dinner starts at 6:30 P.M. Program starts at 7:30 P.M.
Menu: Pork Loin with the trimmings
Cost: $9 adults FREE hot dogs for the kids!
Call in your reservations by Tuesday A.M. Oct. 15th at 272-3660
