There are good things in the works for educational outreach, the den cam, protection for radio-collared bears, and more. Somehow, dealing with those issues, it got late and none of those things have yet come together sufficiently to post in an update. So there is essentially no update tonight. We are working very hard for legal protection of the radio-collared bears. Picture of Lily and Hope was taken October 29.
As Lynn was gratefully eating the sandwich meat and pizza and wonderful goodies you sent for the staff at the Bear Center, he had a thought related to a rumor he had heard that people were organizing to send Christmas goodies. He thought about people less fortunate and wondered how Christmas goodies could be used to help bears. One thing that would make people in this area realize once again the value of the radio-collared bears to this area would be donations from Lily fans to the Ely Food Shelf. He wondered what ideas our creative group (Lily fans) might come up with for other ways to help bears related to Christmas goodies. By tomorrow, we’ll have more information about the Ely Food Shelf where Donna Rogers volunteers. We always say, Lily fans have three goals: to learn about bears, to share the knowledge, and help the area where the radio-collared research bears live.
More tomorrow.
Thank you for all you do.
