Ducks Unlimited Benefits Raises Eight Thousand At Houndslake
The second annual Ducks Unlimited benefit party at Houndslake Country Club drew about 260 people on December 2. An auction of guns, prints, and wildlife art helped net $8,000 for the conservation group, which funds breeding grounds in Canada and the northern United States and supports biologists and guards in its mission to protect migratory waterfowl. Ford Conger and Fred Wright Jr. led club efforts as co chairs and noted the local chapter’s larger contribution than the Augusta chapter.
