> Hello, Fellow Birders:
> How many of us visit Hawk Ridge in Duluth each fall? Can I see a show of
> hands? Yep, most of us make a point to visit one of this country's stellar
> fall birding locations at least once each autumn -- and Hawk Ridge is one
of
> birding's best bargains, since it doesn't cost us a dime to visit.
>
> Just as we each need a dose of Lake Superior each fall, Hawk Ridge now
needs
> something from us. Duluth Audubon is the nonprofit organization given the
> responsibility by the City of Duluth for the management of Hawk Ridge. If
> anything happens up there on the Ridge, Duluth Audubon would be
responsible.
> Now, here's the rub: Duluth Audubon needs to purchase liability insurance
to
> cover its board and officers in case of a lawsuit. They've never had such
> insurance before, but these are litigious times.
>
> A recent fundraiser raised about half of the cash they need, but there's a
> shortfall, and here's where we come in: If each person who enjoys Hawk
Ridge
> would send a check for, oh, $10 to Duluth Audubon, it would help
immensely.
> If you could spare $15, even better! This is a one-time appeal, since once
> the group is on stable footing it envisions being able to successfully
raise
> the dough in subsequent years. Here's where to send your check, and please
> be sure to enter 'For insurance fund' on the check's memo line:
> Duluth Audubon, c/o Biology Dept., University of Minnesota-Duluth,
> 10 University Drive, Duluth, Minn. 55812
>
> Thanks so much, in advance, I know birders are generous souls, and thanks,
> too, to MnBird for allowing me to make this appeal on behalf of Duluth
> Audubon!
>
> An interested party
> St. Paul, Minn.
