Special to The Sun
The Wakulla County Ducks Unlimited Chapter was recently recognized by Ducks Unlimited in the latest Nov/ Dec magazine edition for “Reaching New Heights.” The Chapter was recognized for holding the largest North Florida event that took place in March 2022. The magazine states, “under the leadership of co-chairs, Sara Clark and April Posey, the committee hosted more than 500 attendees and raised more than $120,000 for the DU conservation mission.”
Co- Chair Sara Clark was recognized earlier in the year as the North Florida Chairman of the Year for 2021-2022. Clark says that, “The chairman of the year award really goes to my outstanding co-chair (and the previous Chair) April Fender-Posey and to the dedicated previous Chairman for more than 10 years, Tara Sanders, who paved the way for the foundation our Chapter has today. Having one of the largest events in North Florida is a huge accomplishment, and it wouldn’t be a success without a good foundation and our committee.”
Following their March success, the Chapter held their annual fall event on Oct. 28, the Fire & Ice Oyster Bash. The event was held at Skybox and local oysters were supplied by Oyster Boss Oyster Company. Purchased ticket holders were entered to win raffle prizes such as guns, coolers, custome corn hole boards and more. It was a great success and the Chapter was able to meet their fundraising goal.
The DU committee announced their annual spring event for Saturday, March 11, 2023. Two weeks earlier than their long standing last Saturday of March due to requests to move it away from Spring Break week. Details of the event will be announced in the New Year.
