The Chapter held its First Annual Banquet on Saturday, April 8th, 2006 at the Hill Prairie Winery in Oakford, Illinois. Our priorities are directly tied to local wildlife habitat enhancement, youth hunter outreach & education, etc. Chapter committee member Dave Hedrick running a special raffle!Attending a Quail Forever banquet is an excellent way to contribute to a good cause, because your county chapter retains all of the money (exclusive of membership fees) that we raise! The QF emphasis upon local chapter control of funds and spending priorities is unique among local area conservation chapters and their parent organizations. We are located in Menard County in Central Illinois, and our membership is primarily drawn from Menard and the surrounding counties. (Cass, Mason, Logan, and Sangamon)

Local chapter meeting are typically held at 7 pm at the J&B Sports Bar in Petersburg, and are scheduled as needed. All chapter members and prospective members are always invited to attend any chapter meetings. We will now be organizing our chapter projects concerned with wildlife habitat enhancement and youth hunter support. You don't have to attend all of the meetings - any level of participation is appreciated, so don't be shy!
