     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.

     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:
