Spring Hillbilly Auction April 11

Don’t forget the Hillbilly Auction April 11. Come on in for a delicious steak dinner and stay for the auction. Bring your items to be sold after 3 pm April 11. The little Ikes are counting on another great success.


Thanks for the Hides

A big thank you from the hospitalized veterans to all those that donated hides to be used in making leather goods. Over 300 hides were donated for this worthy cause.

Great going Guys and Gals!
 
 
State Convention at DM Chapter

Our Chapter will host the State Convention for the first time in 10 plus years. We’ll have a big job to equal the outstanding jobs Davenport and other chapters have done the last several years.

We’re going to need a lot of help from our members, Board members and the Ding Darling ladies to be successful.

We also need items for the Friday night auction held after the early bird party. Keith Kirkpatrick donated several nice prints to give us a great start.

We also need advertising for the program, (full page $100, ½ page $50, ¼ page $25) Please help out, if you can.

Attend the auction and dinner on Friday, April 28 and/or the business meeting on Saturday, April 29 and see how the State Ikes operate. There are no registration fees unless you want to enjoy the great meals. Let’s uphold our great reputation and put on the best ever State meeting and have a large turnout.

See Fred Baumann, Tom Holm or any Board member if you can help out or want to buy advertising. (PS: There will be a hospitality room at the Sheraton Four Point motel at 1810 Army post Rd.)

Trap Shoot, April 29 at Ankeny Chapter grounds. We need shooters, (bodies not pros) to field at least a team or two. As the largest chapter In the State and one of the largest in the nation we should field at least a team or two. The chapter will pay the entry fee. See Tom Holm or sign up in the office.

Fred Baumann, your President.
