In spite of the adverse winter weather, 178 people were in attendance at this charity event, and over $20,000 was raised. After dinner, raffle tickets were drawn on the more than 50 raffle prizes on display. Prizes ranged from gift cer- tificates from local businesses, to mer- chandise including men's and woinen's clothing, to the framed original program cover designed by local wildlife artist William Creighton. Raffle ticket sales net- ted over $2,400. Thirty items were displayed in a silent auction format. Bidders signed their name and bid on such items as a custom built duck boat, trout fishing, jewellery, original Indian art, limited edition prints and figurines, decoy carvings and airline tickets. By the end of the bidding, over $6,000 had been raised. Twenty-one items were featured in the live auction, conducted by auctioneer Bruce Rathwell of Seaforth. Items featured included limited edition prints bought for up to $450, a Tom Taber limited edition decoy purchased for $310, and two original water colour paintings by William Creighton purchased for $850. Two items auctioned were somewhat more unusual. The first was a 10 -hour cruise through the Welland Canal on a Misener Steamship Line Laker for 4 persons. The successful bidder was Wayne Lyons of Goderich. John Schaefer was the successful bidder on a theatre trip for two to New York, in- cluding return air fare and hotel, donated by Champion Road Machinery and Air On- tario. In total the live auction raised over $8,000. $1,200 was raised on a special raffle on a 20 gauge Beretta shotgun, specially engraved for Ducks Unlimited. The gun was won by Ross McDaniel of Goderich. Fifteen new memberships were taken out in the Greenwing Program. After the final tally, over $20,000 was raised for Ducks Unlimited Canada for the preservation and maintenance of wetlands areas such as the Hulled Wildlife Area north of Clinton. The Goderich Committee in the four years since its inception has raised over $60,000 with the help of local businesses, donors and sponsors. The Committee is chaired by Bruce A. Sully, and the other members of the Committee are Jack Grace, Roy Bellinger, Watson Huff, James Mansell, Ross McDaniel, Richard Ot- tewell, Jim Remington, Burns Ross, Steve Symes, Ernie Tafeit, Dave Iarusso and Terri Kelly.
