"Pigging Out" is for the Birds!

Dan, Bonnie, Nancy & Scott
demonstrating how we "pass the pig".

Through our "Pass the Pig Project" we've been collecting spare change to be used towards good work projects. For the last quarter we've been collecting funds for the Deer Flat Wild Life Refuge in Nampa, ID.

Ed happily handing
over our "Pig" Check.

 We were very happy to hand over a check for $64.00 to the Friends of the Deer Wild Life Refuge, a service group which helps to contribute to conservation education, refuge clean up and litter removal and general maintenance that supplements Deer Flat Refuge staff.

 Not wanting to leave out any of our fine-feathered-friends, we also brought in two 25 lbs bags of birds seed and a Tilapia for the osprey! In turn the Friends of the Refuge club hosted a pizza and cake lunch.

Smiles from all at the pizza party at the Deer Flat Wild Refuge.

Get Well Soon Dan
