Good Monday morning
     The 2013 Sandhill Crane Festival is one for the history books!!  And
what a chapter it will be!
It was a gorgeous weekendtwo sun-filled 50 degree days, amazing volunteers,
lots of smiling faces, great speakers, Sandhill Cranes, Whooping Cranes,
Bald Eagles, the additional 68-acre Hiwassee land dedication, new and old
friends and Charles Darwinwe couldn't have asked for more!

    And although the "stars" of the show might be billed as the Cranesthe
true "stars" are YOU THE VOLUNTEERS!!  For without each of you, this
Festival would not be possible!
My most heartfelt THANK YOU to each and everyone of you who helped to make
this weekend a success.  Whether you worked "pre" festival running around
hanging posters or spreading the word in your communities or gathering or
giving auction items or at the Festival itself by sharing your scopes, or at
the welcome tables, or loading the buses or selling pizza or manning the TOS
table, or coordinating our speakers, or taking pictures and videos to share
later, or setting up tables or tearing down tents, worked a shift or all
weekend, each and everyone one of you had an integral role in making this
weekend a success. 

    I hope that each one of you enjoyed yourself, that perhaps you had an
experience or interaction with a adult or child you'll fondly remember, that
perhaps you saw something you've never seen before or shared a "life" bird
with someone, made a new friend or got reacquainted with an old one or just
had plain good old fun.  You made it all possible.

     Here's a favorite quote that sums up the weekend for me

          "If you want to touch the past, touch a rock.
           If you want to touch the present, touch a flower.
           If you want to touch the future, touch a life."  ~Author Unknown

Thank you for all your help in touching the future!!!
