June 2009

Once a month I, or another member of the BOD of the Friends, have the privilege of attending the Refuge Staff meeting conducted by Rolf  Olson. The amount of important work done by the hard-working and truly dedicated staff is amazing. Each meeting begins with KUDOS – from any staff member to any other for some special help rendered during the previous month. So with apologies to Rolf, here's my version.

KUDOS TO:

Lance Warley and Katie Smith-for completing a truly amazing edition of GATOR TALES that will be in the mail to members shortly.

George Berman and Stephanie Wright-for agreeing to head up our new Public Relations initiative.

Tom Poulson-whose monthly science articles on this website are a delight.

Elinor Williams-whose monthly emails keep us all well-informed and who is completing our 2010 calendar that will be available shortly.

Harvey Eisen and Frank Bodofsky-Our tireless Gift Shop managers who have added an amazing array of new merchandise and enticing displays-with more on the way!

Nancy Marshall-who is tirelessly working on the EVCO 25th anniversary conference that you will be hearing more about. But do save the dates (Jan 7-10) as there will be a lot happening at the Refuge.

See you around and about.
