It is not only financial support that many of our key environmental organizations require. One of the few gifts that only you can give is your time, be it that required to write to some of the workers in organizations which support your cause and the encouragement you letter gives by saying thanks for their hard work or be it that required to help implement one of their (and your) projects or to serve as a member of their governing body.

The Natural History Society of Prince Edward Island Ltd. is one of these groups and, at this time, I would like to extend a special thanks to all those who have supported the Society in its many endeavors this year. As newsletter editor I would like to extend my special thanks to the following individuals who, this year, have helped make this job a much more creative and fulfilling undertaking:
