Saturday the 21st of November marked an important day in WRCNU history as well as one for Eagle Scout Jake Knowles! The 21st was the completion date of our first Boy Scout Eagle Project as Jake Knowles and crew unloaded over 356 pounds of Purina cat chow and tons of other badly needed supplies found on our website “Needs List”. The total donation from this food drive is valued at over $820 and will greatly reduce the need for WRCNU to pull funds from its limited bank account. We are now set to start the 2010 baby bird season without having to dash out for supplies when that first baby arrives in April or May. Thanks Jake, you are a STAR!

David Butt finished his eagle project for WRCNU January 2010 and gave many of our recuperating birds a place to perch! David started his project with a neighborhood yard sale fundraiser. He then took the income from the sale and purchased materials for bird perches for the medium sized birds being rehabilitated at our facility. Under David’s leadership and direction, his team of scouts built 30 perches and greatly enhanced the quality of life for the birds during their temporary stay in our facility. Thank you David, for your huge support of our mission!
