It is wonderful to see you each year--same happy faces and some new ones. Our auction and raffle could not be a success without your support through donations or buying. I hope you had the opportunity to meet and speak with the recipients of our monies. They are wonderful kids so full of enthusiasm. Remember this is the future of birding and it's nice to know youth is out there and eager to learn. I do not have the final figure of our contributions but will share that with you when it becomes finalized. Some monies are still trickling in. Every penny counts. I hope we will be able to top our contribution of $2490 last year!!! It's a tough goal. Next year will be my last to coordinate the silent auction and I'm hoping someone with "youth and enthusiasm" will take my place. It's a fun job but time to pass it on. I love meeting all the people--the best part of the job. You all are wonderful. Let's start saving all those "treasures" for next year as I'd like to go out with "great success".
