No falling pianos so far, and I’m pretty happy about it. Today is going to be a great day to get everyone up to date on all the beaver good news for the week.
One not quite beaver-related piece of good news is that I enrolled in the Jane Goodall master class on conservation as an early birthday present. How exciting does this sound? 26 video lectures and a host of smart classmates to connect with. It starts in the fall and I’m sure I’ll be soo much better at saving beavers when it does. If you’re interested in being my classmate go here to register: It costs less than a latte a class, so I’m pretty sure we can afford it.
The second piece of fun news comes from Sara Aycock who donated so generously to the silent auction the framed pictures of her charming Victorian animal characters. The book is nearer to launch and looks wonderful. It even is introduced with a quote from John Muir! Not to mention the illustration of our very favorite character, Mr. Beaverton.
If you cannot wait until the silent auction and must have some of her charming artwork in your home right NOW, I don’t blame you. We could barely resist ripping the ancestors off the hallway wall and replacing them with her donations! Go to her etsy shop here and browse the wonders.
More good news in the form of a much-beloved donation from Safari West. Their package includes the irresistible dinner at the Africa-inspired lodge and overnight for two in one of their luxury tents surrounded by wildlife that you aren’t used to hearing amid the stunning oaks, breakfast at the lodge and a jeep safari to see their glorious wild wonders the following day. Safari West is one of the most sought after items in our auction, and with very good reason. You will not forget even a single moment of your trip there. And at a value over 500 dollars, you should be highly motivated to outbid your neighbors. We are SO grateful for their wonderful support.
Safari West is a huge supporter of conservation, run by enormously good people who have always been big supporters of beavers. Their glorious retreat is the experience of a lifetime. Truly.
