We'll miss you!
Welcome to the official website of the Lake Washington Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF)! We
are one of several chapters of the NWTF located within Washington State. We are based in Bellevue, Washington. We are
a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are a group of individuals dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey
and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
Each year we host our annual Hunting Heritage Banquet & Auction.
This event is an intregal part of the NWTF's mission to conserve the wild turkey and improve habitat. Funds
raised at this event also help finance these projects as well as JAKES, Wheelin' Sportsman, and Women in the Outdoors
education programs. At the Hunting Heritage Banquet and Auction we have raffles, live and silent auctions, door
prizes, sporting art prints, bronze sculptures, catered dinner, and no-host bar.
The Mercerwood Shore Club provides a wonderful atmosphere for this event and the dining is very good. You'll
also have the opportunity to meet people like yourself who share a love of the outdoors and hunting wild turkeys.
Our next Hunting Heritage Banquet and Auction is Saturday, April
5, 2008
