    Dear Glenda,

    I bought my calendar from the South Dakota Taxidermist Association to support a good group of people who preserve not just beautiful animals, but wonderful memories. Like most folks, I knew there was a chance to win a firearm, but I never really expected to win. That's why receivimg your notification that my name had been drawn was a very pleasant surprise.

    Thanks to your members for my new shotgun, and thanks for all they do to support the hunters and outdoorsman in the upper midwest.

    With very best regards,
    Don Hansen
