11-14 SS Ducks Unlimited

11-14 SS Ducks Unlimited

 A day in the life of a Ducks Unlimited volunteer. Mark Hutchinson  is the chairman of the committee of the Boise chapter of Ducks Unlimited. But you might be surprised that Mike is driven by a greater goal than just providing habitat so that he can go hunting. Listen to how he got involved. “ It started 7 years ago, I was in the insurance business and I did it as something to get involved with other than the normal networking events that are offered around town, do it for the work ethic, I wanted to do something else just to give back in some way without expecting some kind of benefit for it. Yeah but why Ducks Unlimited? I grew up going to the event every year with my father and brother. It’s just something that I’ve always done. I like the organization and what they do so I went there. The goal is to raise money for wetlands rehabilitation and providing good habitat for waterfowl and all of the other animals that come along with it. It’s not all about duckss and hunting, it’s about habitat rehabilitation and conservation.”

 Mark says the annual fundraiser will be held this Thursday, 17 of November at the  Boise Center on the Grove. The fun begins at 5:30 PM, goes to 10:30 PM and Mark hopes to raise $20,000.
