Program: President Dan Borrowman introduced Brenda Middendorf, coordinator for Access Illinois.

Brenda said, Kaye Iftner asked me to attend your meeting to accept our $500.00 check to help process donated deer for the food pantries in Pike County....and said "Oh yes, you'll be our program"...

Access Illinois food program is in it's 5th year, and we have now 3 facilities in this area to process deer for us. Refrigerated trailer parked at the Arrow Shop, which is manned by them for us, the Amish processor ...all have to be federally and state inspected.

Last year we had over 17,000 pounds of processed deer for the food pantries in this county...we have in the past 4 years have processed and distributed over 45,000 pounds to needy people, and they've learned to really depend on it. Food pantries do not get a lot of meat.

Hunters have to fill out a form to file to make sure all deer are legal.

Wedon't know how many people will be donating does this year, with the raising of the tag costs to 25 dollars by the state for a doe tag. People did not mind paying $15 to shoot a deer to donate, but, the state is probably going to price many 'out of the market' who would have donated an extra deer...(Wisconsin doe tags are only $2.00)

On behalf of those receiving the deer meat, I THANK you for your donation.

Thanks, Brenda for a very informative program on this one part of Access Illinois.
