Neil Taylor Report on
Baillie Birdathon 2009
I am pleased to report that I was able to forward pledges to Bird
Studies Canada totaling $2000 from 59 sources.
Of that total, $1335 was the actual amount pledged a new high for this
participant. I managed to collect $520
from non KWFN members that included teacher colleagues from various schools, a
former student from my first class, as well as family friends and
relatives. $370 was pledged directly on
line using the internet. I was unable to
collect another $95 that had been pledged.
Titia and I felt that we were unable to match the amount collected from
pledges, so this year we topped up the amount by $665 to bring the total to
$2000. I am ever so grateful for the
generosity of all who have supported this worthy cause over the many years that
I have been a participant. Thank you so
very much.
