Wednesday, 06 May 2009

Some of you may know by now that I will be leaving the Heart of Virginia Council. My fiancé has been given an opportunity to work the BSA national headquarters in Texas.

I’m writing to thank all the volunteers, customers and parents, most of whom I’ve become good friends with for their patronage. I am grateful for all the learning experiences I have had and will take them with me. I’d like to thank my council co-workers (past and present) for their time and friendship. You know, I’ve spent more time with you all than my own family, and have no regrets.

I am now looking forward to spending 100% of my time with my other family. I will continue to support Scouting and I hope you do too.

I will truly miss you all.

Carmen.

Celebrate Urban Birds project PDF Print E-mail

Tuesday, 13 January 2009

Ithaca, NY--The Cornell Lab of Ornithology invites organizations and educators to apply for its Celebrate Urban Birds project mini-grants. Mini-grants average $100 to $500 and help fund neighborhood events across North America. Organizations working with traditionally underserved communities are strongly urged to apply.

Celebrate Urban Birds is a free year-round project that collects information from everyday people about 16 species of birds that may be found in urban areas. Participants spend 10 minutes watching birds in their neighborhood and report their observations online at www.CelebrateUrbanBirds.org. This information helps scientists better understand how birds survive in cities and make use of greens spaces, including parks and gardens.
