Thank You for Your Charitable Support!
One of the distinct pleasures of serving Delta as Chairman of the Board is getting to know our donors and learning about what inspires them to invest in our work. I expect, like me, many Chairman’s Circle members support Delta as a small repayment for the priceless enjoyment, experiences, and camaraderie that ducks and duck hunting have afforded over the years.
Whatever inspired you, we are deeply grateful for your continued loyalty to Delta Waterfowl. Your commitment helps protect the tradition of waterfowl hunting in North America and adds to the promise of a bright future for ducks and duck hunters everywhere.
Sincerely,
John M. Dunlap
Chairman of the Board
