Thank You from the FNCA Board

   The Board of Directors of the Friends of the Campus Natural Areas (CNA) wishes to thank the many people who enabled the formation of the new Friends of the CNA organization.  Without them the organization would not exist.

In addition, the Board would like to specifically thank

Ben August who developed the Friends of the CNA Web Site.  His technical skill and artistic ability combined to create a beautiful and useful Web Site.  He spent hours reformatting the Newsletter and Bird Checklists so that they could be viewed on the Web.

Tom Brock who supplied the initial 300 names for the potential membership mailing list.  This list of interested people enabled the success of our membership drive.  His map, now on the Friends’ Web Site, illustrates the areas and the trails of the CNA.  His brochure, included in our membership mailing, familiarized prospective members with the CNA.  He and his wife, Kathie, continue to support the new Friends group in a wide variety of ways.

Cathie Bruner, the Manager of the Campus Natural Areas, who provided endless hours of time to the new Friends of the CNA group.  Her unflagging support has been a source of encouragement to the Board.  In addition, her multiple lists of people involved in CNA activities provided many potential and actual new members.
 
Kandis Elliot, a biological illustrator, who created the line drawings that were used for the Friends of the CNA outreach materials.  The Board is especially grateful for the use of the Green Heron drawing that has become our de facto logo.  Her spectacular owl is on the “Welcome” page of the Friends’ Web Site.

Steven E. Grimm, an attorney with Axley Brynelson, who provided advice and filled out the paperwork necessary for obtaining 501(c)(3) non-profit status pro bono.  The Board appreciates his generous gift of time and talent.
