I am posting this on behalf of Jim Wilson, Jr. and myself.

Dear MDOspreyers,

This week on Wednesday, two of the four members of the American Birding
Association's Tropicbirds team will travel to participate in the Texas
Classic are from Maryland. (Jim has been chosen to be our captain!) 

Through this event we are raising money for the American Birding
Association's youth programs. Though this money does not directly assist
Maryland birding, the money is available to Maryland youth birders (Like
ourselves!) The money can be applied for as scholarship money and membership
subsidizing, among other things. The money raised also helps plan youth
birding events, such as the Youth Birder's Conference, workshops/programs,
and education events.

Some of you have already pledged and we thank you very much. 

If you wanted to support us, but haven't yet, it's not too late! You can
either pledge to Jim and me directly, or you can make a pledge at
http://www.americanbirding.org/yb/tropicbirds/pledge.html. 

Making the pledge online is easy and the money goes to the same cause, but
Jim and I won't get credit for it that way unless you shoot us an email and
let us know you made a pledge. If you want to support us directly you have
the option of a set donation or amount per bird.

Thank you so much for your consideration and please do not hesitate to
contact us if you have any questions.
