HAWAI'I AUDUBON SOCIETY
FOR THE BENEFIT OF Wedge-Tailed Shearwaters ('Ua'u kani) Now is a Great Time to make a Tax-Deductible Contribution to the Hawai'i Audubon Society (HAS), as we embark on a program of habitat restoration and improvement at our Freeman Seabird Preserve on Black Point.
FREEMANS' CHALLENGE GRANT BOOSTS FUNDRAISING
HAS needs only $2,158 to complete our Drive, thanks to the pledge from Buck and Graeme Freeman to match every dollar raised up to $15,000. Please help us reach our goal by sending in your contribution!
From January until Mid-March, while the shearwaters are away at sea, HAS will be undertaking major habitat improvements, using endemic plants to re-create a natural landscape. Phase I of the project will focus on removing invasives, conditioning the terrain for native plantings, installing irrigation, creating natural rock landscape features, initial planting, and installing a naturally draining parking area. Future phases will expand plantings and enhanced landscape features. Our target of $30,000 will provide for professional services to accomplish our habitat restoration goals, as well as funds for community association dues, liability insurance, and other maintenance and management costs. Please consider the HAS Freeman Seabird Preserve in your year-end financial giving plans, and we welcome offers to leverage our fundraising through matching donation gifts. Checks may be made out to Hawai'i Audubon Society, with the annotation "FSP" on the check. For further information, contact the HAS Office by phone (808-528-1432), or email (hiaudsoc@pixi.com).

NOTICE Proposed amendments to the Hawaii Audubon Society's Bylaws will be mailed to HAS members for approval this month. The complete wording of the amendments is currently available in the Society's office and members may call the office and request an electronic copy. The reasons for the proposed amendments are two-fold: 1) to reflect recent changes in Hawaii state law for charitable non-profits, and 2) to reflect current or needed changes in the operating procedures of the Society. The Board of Directors recommends approval of the proposed amendments. |
