I am ready to pass the job on to someone else so think about stepping forward. I will be happy to help anyone taking that responsibility. It sure is fun to meet all the people and see them again each year. I'll never forget birding in Point Pelee, Canada with Jon Dunn and someone asking if I was the Maryland silent auction person. Jon Dunn asked exactly how big MD was!!! I will miss all of you. Please consider the position. I now have the final figure that was made--$3,000.00!!!!!!!!! I never imagined we'd hit the $3,000 mark but you did it. Thanks to you for your support. When I first took on the position 4 years ago, we made about $1900 and I thought $2000 would be nice. You have exceeded my greatest expectations. Thanks to all of you who helped me each year diligently (Sherry and the Loomis especially), to all who "hovered" over their "goodies" to purchase those great buys, to those who donated their treasures to suppport the MOS, and to those who gave wonderful words of support!!!!!! I will miss you but am looking forward to going on a field trip! Great birding and thanks Janelle Dietrich ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
