Also, the Ikes chapter is planning another steak cookcout fundraiser, Wednesday, July 23, beginning at 5:45 p.m. at the Ikes Cabin, Todd Park, Austin.

Steak cookouts are the main fundraising events for the Austin chapter.

Austin Chapter 10 has three steak cookouts remaining this year: July 23, Sept. 10 and Oct. 8.

The menu includes 10-ounce sirloin steak, baked potato, coleslaw, bun and fresh veggies.

The event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 and available at the door or by contacting an Ike member.

Proceeds from the July steak cookout will be used to promote education of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.

The Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment would generate about $290 million a year by raising the state sales tax three-eighths of 1 percent.

Eighty percent of the money would be set aside for conserving the state’s land, water, trails and parks, and about 20 percent would be funneled into the Minnesota art scene.
