"Uncle Ike's is a youth program sponsored by the Des Moines Chapter of the Izaak Walton League. We are an organization to promote adult and child activities for Izaak Walton members and their children or grand children in the understanding and conservation of our natural resources. Our activities have included building a duck nesting box to a 2 night camp out. We meet the 4th Tuesday of every month in the library unless an outing is scheduled. Please call the chapter house or visit the Ike's web page for this months time and date of activities."
