Brent, far as I know, the only thing that goes to National is dues. Expect there's also some revenue involved in items they provide to chapters for banquet raffles, auctions, etc. But otherwise, unless there's been a very recent change, banquet profits--after dues money is sent to National--stays with the chapter. I'm very active in Iowa's only Ruffed Grouse Society chapter, and in our case, everything goes to National--although we've done pretty well getting money back for habitat projects. I've never been involved with DU.
