This gave a Net Profit of $17,094.48 was sent to Ducks Unlimited National. This made a very successful event. After taking out the National DU costs the total proceeds for use in conservation and restoration will be about $13,188.
• From this amount of money there will be about 53 acres preserved for the future for all wildlife and people to enjoy forever. 
• All dollars raised and sent into DU are leveraged with many other partners for preservation of wetlands and the environment. DU is able to turn our proceeds into two to three times the total dollar amount.

Great Food provided by Hoag's Catering Tuscarora Chapter of Ducks Unlimited held it's 16th annual membership banquet at Mifflintown Fire hall on Friday Aug 3rd. 2007. This years event included a catered meal, raffles, silent and live auctions. Auctioneer Brian D. Imes who donates his time to many worthy organizations contributed his services for the 14th consecutive year. This annual membership banquet and thousands of similar events across the country, set up by local committees, allows individuals, and businesses, and corporations to donate money to Ducks Unlimited, an International non profit conservation organization. This years committee is especially grateful for the generosity of local individuals and business. This years auction again featured the work of Gerald Putt, the only 7 time winner of the Pennsylvania duck stamp competition. Bob Jobes of Havre De Grace, MD. Mr. Jobes a 2nd generation Decoy Carver and Maryland Waterman donated several nice items for our auction and was available for information and demonstration.  This is what it is all about!! For The Ducks!! In the past 15 years the Tuscarora Chapter of DU has grossed nearly 3/4 of a million dollars. 84% of the proceeds raised at our DU events goes directly into projects. Ducks Unlimited works in conjunction with local, state, and federal agencies where it matches or exceeds the funding in order to put the money to use where it does the most good. In PA the stream bank fencing project exemplifies the success of DU's partnership with state organizations. Many local farmers participate in the Stream bank fencing program of streams, reducing pollution and increasing vegetation which provides the nesting grounds for ducks and other wildlife. In another state project,. DU in cooperation with the PA Game commission and the US Dept. of Fish and Wildlife completed extensive improvements to the Middle Creek Wildlife Refuge.  The Tuscarora Chapter welcomes anyone who is interested in wildlife conservation and ecology to attend one of our events or become a committee volunteer. Anyone interested in attending an event or becoming a committee member may contact local Chairman Dave Duncan at 717-436-6363, email

Wing Nite 

		All You Can Eat - Wings and Beer Every fall we hold our annual Wing Night. A fun night for all and the price is right. $10.00 per person for all you can eat and drink. The food is good and the wings are great.  Although this is a casual and fun night for the committee as well as those that attend, the goal is still the same. We raise dollars for wildlife conservation to be compounded through the efforts of the DU folks. With an attendance  of 120 to 150 individuals we still raise and impressive amount of dollars to donate directly to DU.
200 pounds of wings are prepared! Thanks to the cooks, there was little left.
	Held at the Juniata County Sportsmen Club. Map We have a nice selection of merchandise to raffle to the delight of those that attended. We hold a Mug Raffle along with individual raffles for assorted items.
