LETTER FROM YOUR
LOUISIANA STATE CHAIRMAN
Dear Volunteers:
It is my pleasure to extend to you an invitation to attend the 2012 Louisiana State Convention being held at the Hilton New Orleans Riverwalk. As this is the 75th anniversary year of Ducks Unlimited, we feel this will be a memorable State Convention.
For those arriving on Thursday, we will have acocktail reception on the Mark Twain Patio overlooking the Mississippi River. Friday is our world famous Road Kill Cook-Off with chapters vying for the vaunted stuffed armadillo. Saturday culminates with our Banquet including Raffles, and the Silent and Live Auctions. Please join us to make this return to New Orleans an event to remember!
Please send in your reservation form as soon as possible and make your room reservations directly with the Hilton. For more information, please visit our website at www.la.ducks.org.
I am looking forward to celebrating this special anniversary year with all of my fellow volunteers and having a wonderful time in historic New Orleans.
