Our fund raiser was a total success!

The fund raiser held at Lil Bo's Pub and Restaurant earlier this month was a complete success. Folks started arriving early and stayed late. There were a few bidding wars happening on several of our silent auction items, which is always such fun to behold. Leo Creek played great dancing tunes and had many folks out on the dance floor shakin-a-leg. The WOW ambassador raptors captivated everyone's attention and, as usual, our turkey vulture Doolin stole the show. The entire event was high energy, a very fun party, and raised a bit over $4000.00 for WOW!

Nancy Freund, owner of Lil Bo's, generously decided to donate 100% of here till at the end of the event, a total of $1000.00. She has also offered to host another WOW fundraiser in the fall, so stay tuned. Nancy's kindness is hugely appreciated.
To help us thank her, please check out Lil Bo's and enjoy her delicious meals....she makes the BEST burgers in town. She also offers live music just about each and every night. Selfishly, I need to put in a plug for Tuesday nights when TC Celtic plays a traditional acoustic irish session.....I provide the irish tenor banjo and mandolin component.

My heart-filled thanks to all who contributed auction items, for all who attended the fund raiser, and for all who sent a donation. Our important raptor educational programming and raptor rehabilitation services could not continue without this WONDERFUL support and generosity.
Yes, you are helping us "fly" to ever greater heights.


Let this journey continue.....
