[All] Baillie Birdathon - 2012

[Neil E Taylor]

Good morning,

Because I have been out of the country, I felt that I should send a reminder
at this time.  I trust that I am not being pushy.  Many have supported me
over the years.  I hope that you may be able to do so again.

 

Last year Bird Studies Canada set up a special web site that was both
successful and popular. I advised as many as possible via email, telephone,
newsletter etc.  Last year my final total was $4035 (about 133%
achievement).

Support from sponsors allowed me to be 8th of all participants across Canada
and I would have been in 7th place as a team of one. 

 

I had initially stated that this was my last Birdathon. The tremendous
support I received, together with the ease for me in having so many pledges
via credit card going directly to my account at BSC was so encouraging that
I registered for 2012.  This year, I have set a goal of $3501. I am also
hoping to attract sponsors from the business sector.  Your assistance here
is sought.

 

The Kitchener-Waterloo Field Naturalists will receive the following % based
on the amount that I am able to raise:

$      1 - 3000 will generate 25% to the KWFN

$3001 - 3500 will generate 30% to the KWFN

$3501 - 4000 will generate 35% to the KWFN

$4001 - 4500 will generate 40% to the KWFN

$4501 - 5000 will generate 45% to the KWFN

$5001  & up will generate 50% to the KWFN

 

I have been proud to be a participant in the Baillie Birdathon for about 30
years. Since 1993, I have been able to raise $15,468.00. Neither the records
of Bird Studies Canada nor mine are available before that year. I am asking
each sponsor to consider a higher amount according to the means of each.
Most of my sponsors pledged directly on line using the internet. This is a
completely safe, secure, and an easy method to donate.  All you need to do
is link to:

A donation of $35 or more will permit you to receive BSC's quarterly
newsletter BirdWatch Canada for one year, and you can participate in BSC's
programs upon request.

Please consider supporting me. Help me support the conservation of Canada's
birds. Just click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation. Thank you in advance for
your generosity! 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Neil (E. Taylor)
