a 3 #3 £ g Ducks Unlimited chapter receives top honours Port Perry and District Chapter members of Ducks Unlimited Canada have every right to be proud after being awarded a trophy for recording the highest net income per dinner attendee recent- ly. Above, Bert Hutcheon of Seagrave and Arthur Philip give Ducks - Unlimited mascot "March-Mallow" a big kiss while his wings are busy holding the trophy. (See story). (From pagel) i "We are convinced the project would be quite beneficial to this area," he said. The council has asked municipal planning consultant John McDer- mott to prepare a report on the pro- ject for the council meeting schedul- ed for July 6. Meanwhile, a decision at the meeting June 15 to reject a propos- ed seniors housing apartment of 40 units behind the Immaculate Con- Senior complex ception Church and school on Highway 7A has been greeted with dismay by members of the Catholic Church in Port Perry. In a letter fo the editor in this . week's Port Perry Star, Father -- Alfred Grima urges the council to re-consider the decision taken June - 13. If council sticks by its decision, it is believed the issue will be taken in front of the Ontario Municipal Board. At the first Ontario Provincial Conference of Ducks Unlimited Canada, held in Peterborough recently, Port Perry and District Chapter, Co-Chairman, Bert Hut- cheon of Seagrave accepted a trophy and congratulations from | D.U. Executive Vice-President and General Manager, D. Stewart Mor- rison of Winnipeg for his commit- tee's outstanding performance ata fundraising event. The second Annual Ducks Unlimited Dinner and Auction held last November at the Immaculate Conception Church Hall in Port Perry raised $38,000 for Waterfowl - Habitat Restoration and Maintenance and placed the Dinner first among 52 other Ontario Com- munities for recording the "highest net income per dinner attendee." _ Arthur Philp, Provincial Sponsor Chairman for Ducks Unlimited in an interview with the Star, said the Conference was a tremendous suc- cess and provided an excellent forum where D.U. volunteer workers from across the Province could exchange ideas that will con- tribute to the success of future events. Philp stated that it was exciting to learn that our local chapter had turned in a record performance, but it really didn't come as a complete surprise as the Community Spirit in Port Perry is outstanding. Mr. Hut- cheon and his committee did a tremendous job, but our Communi- ty earned the award. - Planning for the third Annual Port Perry and District Dinner schedul- ed for November 12, is well under- way and promises to be another Premier Event. Volun teers College and University students - who are interested in helping people are needed by Community Care to drive elderly and disabled people to appointments; deliver Meals on Wheels and assist in the office on a volunteer basis.
