At the same time we are trying to understand the movements Juliet and Jo are making as they cross paths (as revealed by GPS), we are trying to put together a presentation for the International Bear Conference. It got late.
Team Bear was good to let us know they are set to go with the Matching Funds Special Event Drawing Fundraiser beginning tomorrow Friday 6/17 at 11:00 AM EST through Sunday 6/19 at 11:00 AM EST. The Photo Album at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150225187595499.352102.263755115498 has pictures and descriptions of the items. This is the fundraiser Team Bear delayed so as not to compete with the sun bear fundraiser another bear group was doing.
Also, we apologize for being late in adding the Lilypad Picnic Committee to the list of Lily fans who are doing so much. We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the picnic in just a little over a month. We arrive back from the International Bear Conference at 1 AM on Sunday, July 24, and are looking forward to the brunch at Grand Ely Lodge and the ‘Meet & Greet’ the committee is setting up afterward.

Thank you for all you do.
