Jewel and cubs - Dec 31, 2012As the year comes to an end, we’re feeling grateful for the many ways Lily Fans have contributed through the year. In the last 5 days, you also made a flurry of donations for the Hope Learning Center—$8,005, according to the bookkeeper. Thank you!
Lily's wall of wood chips - Dec 31, 2012
The den cams are humming along just fine. Today Lily built a wall of woodchips that blocked most of our view, but later she rearranged and the view is better than ever. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
New view of Lily - Dec 31, 2012Today, Lily Fans heard voices at Jewel’s den. We checked. The landowner who is being so gracious in granting us access and allowing use of a heated building for our equipment briefly pointed out the den for a guest from Sri Lanka. The landowner is respectful of the bears and not a threat. Thank you for being alert and on the ball. We may hear human noises from time to time on Jewel's den cam this year because of the den location and the microphone sensitivity.
New Year's OfferA special New Year’s offer at the Bear Center (http://www.bear.org/website/gift-shop.html) is another way to donate. Purchase any new membership at any level, or renew any current membership, or donate $25 dollars or more to the building fund and you will receive a signed (by us) 2013 Calendar Bundle.
Happy New Year! Many new things are in the works for the Bear Center this year. It’s a year we can advance together and make a difference for bears.
Thank you for all you do.
