The Mississippi Valley Callers Association

Founded in 1999, the Mississippi Valley Callers Association was formed to support and enhance outdoor sporting activities such as duck and goose calling competitions, waterfowl preservation and involvement of youth in outdoor sporting activities in the Burlington area. A goal of the Association is to promote and expand Southeast Iowas rich water fowling heritage right here on the shores of the Mighty Mississippi River. Since its inception, the Association has shared our good fortune with many other organizations. Namely, the Association has made contributions to further our mission with financial contributions to the YMCA/YWCA, Ducks Unlimited Greenwings (Wild Wings Chapter), Pheasants Forever (Des Moines County Chapter) Lomax Ducks Unlimited, the Des Moines County Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Des Moines County Conservation Board: Big Hollow Lake Project, Partners for Conservation Foundation, Danville 4H and Mediapolis 4H (Wood Duck box building project), the Burlington Area Ducks Unlimited Chapter and Delta Waterfowl. One of the MVCAs big projects was the construction and hanging an additional 98 wood duck boxes (100 boxes were hung in 2002). The boxes were hung in Spring 2003 in Southeast Iowa including Huron Island, Otter Island, Sportsman Hunting Club and the Greater Blue Heron Refuge (Blackhawk Bottoms), local farm ponds, and along Flint Creek. Additionally the Association has been fortunate to be able to supply food plot seed for local use over the past six years and has been able to give away an additional 30-40 Wood Duck Boxes at our contest each year to continue to support wildlife conservation. In addition to these activities the MVCA started a scholarship program for area youth. The MVCA Scholarship is awarded to some lucky young person who has expressed an interest in conservation activities and plans to start their post-high school education at Southeastern Community College. If you would like to contribute to this scholarship fund, please see a MVCA member.

The MVCA is happy to have worked with veterans sponsored hunts working with the Des Moines County Conservation and very proud to have sponsored the building of a Handicapped Accessible Hunting Blind at the Cairo Woods Wildlife Area. The building of this blind was coordinated by the Louisa County Conservation Board and is now complete and available to those in need. Also another Handicapped Accessible Hunting Blind is planned to be built by the National Wild Turkey Federation at Lake Geode with funds donated by the MVCA. An event such as this could never be accomplished without the financial and in-kind support of many generous individuals and organizations. We would like to thank everyone who has helped make this event a special and successful function especially those who have volunteered today.

The Gifts of Organ Donation

Ten year old Garrett Brockway was a fun, caring and giving boy who brought joy to those around him. He was known by his classmates as someone who would stand up for others, who would make sure the younger children were included in games and would strive to do his best. He was also an active boy who loved the outdoors. On a snowy day in February 2013, Garrett was struck by a falling tree while helping his father on their property. Three days later, he died from the injuries he suffered but his caring soul continued to give. Garrett's parents, Bruce and Tiffini, chose organ donation so that the gifts God had given Garrett could now be given to others who were in need. Feeling great despair with the loss of their son, Garrett's parents felt that organ donation was just another way Garrett could help others and bring much needed hope to families who were also in despair. Soon after Garrett's death, his family began receiving news of the huge impact his gifts were having on the lives of the recipients. His gifts helped restore site to a 10 year old girl and 63 year old grandmother through cornea transplants. His heart was able to bring much needed hope to a 14 year old boy. His kidneys went to a 28 year old student and a 65 year old man who was a perfect match. His liver went to a 14 year old boy and his pancreas to a 43 year old wife and mother. Through tissue donation, Garrett was able to help a 14 year old boy who suffered chronic knee pain, a 54 year old grandfather, and a female police officer who was injured in the line of duty. In his ten short years, Garrett took on many roles including son, grandson, big brother, cousin, Christian and friend. But most importantly, he took on the role of hero when he became an organ donor and a giver of life. Garrett's parents have started the Garrett M. Brockway Foundation to help promote awareness of organ donation and enhance the lives of local children through academic and athletic programs. To learn more about the Foundation or to register as an organ donor, please visit garrettspath.org.
