2012 SCWA Charleston Chapter at Alhambra Hall

Reid and Chris MacEachern head up t-shirt sales
Brodie Warren and Jessica Youngblood support waterfowling
The Charleston Chapter of SCWA experienced a growth spurt in 2012, and chapter advisor Mac Bagnal told me that a younger steering committee played a role. Will Freeman served as leader and and family and friends followed, but there were also long time supporters there too. One veteran hunter told me that in the early days of SCWA, thats 26 years ago, the top sales producers went to Canada to hunt waterfowl with Mr. Wielicki. Fast forward to 2012 and chapter leaders are invited to hunt at Camp Woodie during opening day, as a thanks for their volunteer efforts. Raising funds on December 5 began with t-shirt sales and continued with raffle tickets, silent auction, a 10-gun raffle and a brisk live auction. Specialty trips included a youth duck hunt with duck mount by Cordray's Taxidermy, an offshore trip on the Splitbill, a father and son/daughter turkey hunt, and an inshore trip with Graham Hegameyer. Books, cornhole boards, Big Lake duck calls, Duck Commander gear and plenty of other items were toted home by the large crowd that turned out for a night that included Beaufort stew and baked chicken served up by Jamie Westerndorff.
