Well, that time is just about here. Hope everyone has a safe trip to Salisbury and takes advantage of the inexpensive gas prices on the Eastern Shore. I will be traveling to Salisbury University on Thursday, August 8. I will be arriving at about 1:30 p.m. At this time, I am supposed to have access to the Wicomico Room (the location of the silent auction/raffle). I am planning to start the setup, if this is possible, so I can get a jump start on the Friday rush. On Friday I will be located in the Wicomico Room from about 9:30 a.m. until around 4 p.m. If possible, please bring your donations to the Wicomico Room anytime. If this isn't possible, there will be a drop off box at registration (look for the sign) and you may place them there. The only problem with that is I will have to have someone with a large car/truck to periodically drive them over to me. (looking for "good souls"!) If you come down early, I will gladly accept them on Thursday. If you need to locate me, please ask at the University Park Apt. desk as I do not know my room number yet. I have had volunteers step forward to help out and I really appreciate the support I am receiving from the great Ospreyers and non-Ospreyers. You all have been great to me!!!!! :-) It is because of your support that we made over $2200 last year. And this year we have a double cause so hopefully we will do better. The money will be divided between the Centreville Middle School World Series of Birding Team (young birders!!) and the Lower Shore Land Trust. I will have sign up sheets for raffle/silent auction room coverage posted at the registration desk and in the Wicomico Room in the Guerrieri Building. I have broken down coverage into one hour slots so as not to put undue stress on anyone. Thanks again everyone for stepping forward to help and donate items. This should be a great year. If you need a tax receipt, please see me personally. I will bring them with me to the conference. Also, if you have a donation for the raffle from a business, please bring a business card or their complete address so I can write a thank you note after the conference. Fell free to email or call me if you have additional questions. Remember, I will be leaving early Thursday morning. Have a safe trip to Salisbury.
