at your next Ducks Unlimitedfunction? What could be more
appropriate than Black Lab™ Vodka!
This hand crafted blend was created for Waterdog Spirits, LLC by America’s mostaward winning small batch distillery…awards
such as the Gold Medal and 92 points fromthe Beverage Tasting Institute in 2008 anddouble Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2007.
If that’s not reason enough, Waterdog Spirits has been supporting qualifying chap-ters with auction items and other donations.

2011 Sponsor Program – DU is Flocking to Black Lab™ Vodka
Waterdog Spirits, LLC (Black Lab™ Vodka) and Zeppa Studios, LLC have paired up tooffer a special Fundraising Program for non-profit organizations, such as DucksUnlimited.
How it works…
DU Chapters who purchase bottles of Black Lab™ Vodka from a local or on-line retailer to serve and/orauction/raffle off at a fundraising event will receive from Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios a donationpackage based on that purchase. (Items are pictured on the following page.)
1-2 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Glasses (Martini or DOF)1 Glass Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser
1 BLV Cap (new!)
3-5 Bottle Package - Set of 6 Waterdog Glasses (will mix 2/4 on request)1 Hand Painted Plate1 Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser2 BLV Caps
6 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Martini GlassesSet of 4 Waterdog DOF Glasses1 Hand Painted Oval or Round Platter2 from Cutting Board, Box, Soap selection4 Caps
(NOTE: While we have structured the program to work on a per purchase basis, chapters reserve the right to utilize their purchase
and corresponding package as they see fit...for instance you may purchase 6 bottles, receive the 6 bottle package and split thebottles and items between a couple events. Area managers who are centrally purchasing BLV for multiple chapter events mustspecify how many bottles they have allocated to each event.)
If you confirm your participation a month in advance, you may request which items and designs to use,otherwise, it’s our choice. Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios also reserve the right to make product sub-stitutions, if necessary.
We ask that the Chapter send back a brief fund raising report that will help us design future programs.(and a few pictures if possible)
Local Ducks Unlimited Chapters in Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Massachu-setts, Connecticut, Idaho and Alaska have benefited from this Program with great success.
