Visitors Center Front Desk: Have a gift for gab?  Like to meet new people?  This four hour shift will keep you entertained and keep our tourists from feeding the deer.  Training is provided.  Your first shifts will be with a 2nd volunteer.  We especially need Saturday volunteers to help with our busiest day!  Call  872-0774 to sign up or email Nancy for more info.
________________

WE NEED A VOLUNTEER!!!

Mary Baker can no longer serve as a Croc Lake representative on the FAVOR board.  Board meetings are held once a month, and you can participate via telephone or Skype, so travel to Big Pine Key for meetings is not required. 

For more information, contact Kristie Killam via email or phone at 305-872-0774.

"Why shouldn't I feed the critters?"

The Nature Conservancy recently posted a good answer to this in "Ask the conservationist" in their latest e-newsletter, when someone asked how to deal with people who were feeding Sandhill Cranes.
