To TN-BIRDers:
 
Sorry about the lack of an attachment to my previous message  regarding Bobby 
Harrison's invitation to his fund-raising gala.  Thanks for  letting me know. 
 (I had messages from as far away as  Afghanistan!)
 
Here is the invitation intact.

Introducing the 
Ivory-billed  Woodpecker Foundation 
Hope of the Ivory-Bill! 

Because 
â??Nature gives very few second  chances, 
this is one of them.â?? 
Carter Roberts, President, World Wildlife  Fund 

On February 27,  2004, a miracle happened. On that date two  qualified 
searchers, Bobby Harrison, from Huntsville,  Alabama  and Tim Gallagher, from 
Ithaca, New  York,  rediscovered the magnificent ivory-billed  woodpecker in 
the Big 
Woods of Eastern Arkansas. Once thought to be extinct, the  ivory-bill's last 
confirmed sighting in the United  States was over 60 years ago. Bobby and 
Tim's  own quest culminated in this miraculous find after spending more than 30 
years  of researching and following leads. It has been hailed by 
ornithologists,  birders, conservation organizations and the media as the 
biggest  Victory 
for Nature in centuries! 
In  order to continue the work and involve others in various aspects of his  
continues efforts, Bobby Harrison has established the Ivory-billed Woodpecker  
Foundation, a 501(c)-3  nonprofit organization. 
Mission  Statement
