Dear Dotty and Hank,

The members of the St. Lucie Audubon Society were very sorry when you had to resign from your many duties on the Board of Directors in February 2009. While we try to understand the reason, we want you to know how much you both will be missed. All the members say how much you have inspired them and furthered their education and love of birds by being with you on so many occasions.

Shortly after you joined the Society when Grace Stock was president in 1989, you became leaders of this group. Hank served as president in the 1990s for two terms.

You both led the birding Education classes for many years. Dotty served as Membership Chairman, Adams Ranch Breakfast Planner and kept the Christmas Count accurate for years. Dotty edited the Laughing Gull and wrote the Feathered Friends column. Hank served on the Board and was Field Trip Chairman and showed us many different birds.

You have given many years and hours of your life for the members of this Society. For which we all are so grateful. Today the Members join the Members of the Board of Directors to thank you and honor you with a

LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARD
in your beloved St. Lucie Audubon Society

Dan Walma, President
