Bobbi to serenade him with the ―Happy Birthday‖
song.
9) As it turns out, today was our speaker,
Chaplain Dave’s, birthday, so we had him don the
birthday hat and we all sang Happy Birthday to
him.
10) We discussed our two Ambassadorial

be interviewed by the committee next Saturday
(8/28). We will put together a group to help her
rehearse for the interview on Friday, 8/27. Laura
Kalb (our current Ambassadorial Scholar who went
through this process last year) said she would like
to participate. Location will be announced later.
Also, Laura will be leaving for her year of studies
in Jordan on September 3rd
. We decided to have a
going away party for her on Monday, 8/30. Ben
and Dona offered to host it at their house. They
will cater the event. It will start at 6:30 PM. Let’s
have a good turnout to show Laura our support and
how proud we are of her.
8) Speaker: Today we had an excellent presentation by Chaplain Dave Goodall with the Ecumenical Chaplaincy
for the Homeless (ECH). Chaplain Dave focused primarily on the impact loss of identification has on homeless
individuals. Most of us were aware of the problems associated with identification theft, but we did not realize how these
issues are compounded with the homeless. This was a real eye-opener! Due to the importance of this presentation and
interest by the members of the club, we gave the speaker an extra 20 minutes to present. (See page 5 for more
information)
17) There was no further business. Meeting was adjourned at 8:20AM.

Today’s Presentation
Every day, homeless individuals in the Phoenix area wonder how they'll
get a job without personal identification. Thanks to the Ecumenical
Chaplaincy for the Homeless (ECH), these individuals can obtain the
help they need.
At its main office in the Lodestar Resource Center, ECH helps
thousands of homeless people each year obtain lost documents, such as
birth certificates and drivers' licenses, so they can get jobs, obtain
medical help, or find housing.
Those in need also receive hygiene kits, safe storage of important
documents, and referrals to other homeless agencies in the Valley.
ECH is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday,
during which time we also provide our clients with counseling for
substance abuse, job searching, and life issues. We are a faith-based
organization that shares God's love with the poor and homeless, treating
each guest with dignity, love, and respect. We provide free Bibles and
advocate with other agencies for the benefit of the poor of our
community. We aim to be the presence of Christ's body alongside the
homeless community.
What We Do
Since 1988, the Ecumenical Chaplaincy for the Homeless (ECH) has specialized in helping homeless people obtain the
identification and documents they need to work, rent, and get assistance. Without this identification, the homeless are
unable to escape life on the street and rejoin society as productive, self-respecting contributors.
We are a unique organization that helps approximately 3,000 individuals each year with the following services:
Procurement of documents, including birth certificates, necessary to obtain an Arizona ID or driver's license and
services from other agencies assisting the poor and homeless;
Purchase of Arizona ID or driver's license;
Long distance phone to contact family or agencies out of state;
Distribution of water bottles, hygiene kits (monthly), socks (weekly), and reading glasses (when available);
Safe storage of birth certificates and other documents to prevent loss, theft or destruction; and
Referrals to rehabilitation programs, food and housing sources, medical assistance, and other agencies providing
services to the poor and homeless in our community.
Success Stories
• A young man came to the Chaplain’s Office after being released from prison. He was surprised to learn that we had the
driver’s license he had lost before being arrested. It had been turned in to us when it was found. He talked about wanting
to go to California to get away from the element that had repeatedly gotten him into trouble and prison. He had not had
any family contact in about 20 years, but he thought his aunt, who had rescued him repeatedly from his abusive mother,
might want to hear from him and maybe help. We found his aunt and called and left messages, but after two days, we
hadn’t heard from her. She finally called us and said she had been searching for him for 20 years. We helped him to rejoin
his family, and he has since been reunited with his mother, who went into recovery years ago.
• The Motor Vehicle Division referred a man to ECH, because they couldn’t exchange his out-
of-state driver’s license. He didn’t have it in his possession and couldn’t get it. While moving to
Arizona, he was involved in a horrible accident, was evacuated to a Phoenix hospital, and
released after a month. Everything he owned, including his license, was in his wrecked and
impounded auto in Buckeye. He was on the street because he didn’t have the money to get to
Buckeye, and no one would give him a ride. We gave him the ride, which
was a simple solution to his problem of homelessness.
• A young woman came to the Chaplain after she escaped a violent and
abusive relationship. After she got away, all her possessions, including
her birth certificate, were burned out of spite. She arrived at our offices

Chaplain Dave Goodall
with nothing but the clothes she was wearing. We succeeded in obtaining her birth
certificate from another state, and an Arizona I.D. card. Years of drug abuse had
created havoc in her life and great difficulty for her mother. A phone call found her
family was anxious to have her home. She called us the day before entering a drug
treatment program, back with family and friends, and looking at a new path for her
life.
• A man stopped by a while ago to thank us for our help. We helped him get his ID 2½
years ago right after he was released from prison. Today, he has a good job, a 3-
bedroom home, and is very grateful. He just wanted to tell us in person.
These are just a few of the many successes we see every day....

Army Ranger Sgt. Martin Lugo Jr. was killed in Afghanistan Thursday,
August 19, 2010. The native Tucsonian’s family was notified of his death
Thursday morning. His mother, Maria Marin, is the principal of the
Tucson Unified School District's Wright Elementary School.
Lugo, 24, enlisted in the Army after high school. He re-enlisted in
February because "he had a strong spirit to protect the freedom that we
enjoy as Americans," wrote his uncle, Jesse Lugo.
Friday morning, the Department of Defense said Martin Lugo was killed
Aug. 19 in Puli Alam, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents
attacked his unit with small arms fire. He was assigned to the 1st
Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Hunter Army Air Field, Ga.
As an Army Ranger, Sgt. Lugo was "a flexible, highly trained and rapidly
deployable light infantry soldier" assigned to special operations, according
to an Army website.
Sgt. Lugo is the 47th service member with ties to Tucson and Southern
Arizona to be claimed since combat operations began.
Sgt. Lugo was described as a "true warrior who died leading his Rangers
in a fierce firefight that killed a Taliban commander and 13 other Taliban
fighters" in Logar province, Afghanistan.
"He is a hero to our nation, the Army and his family," Col. Michael E.
Kurilla, commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment, said in a news release.
Lugo, a 2004 Tucson High Magnet School graduate who enlisted after graduation and then re-enlisted in February, was on
his sixth combat deployment when he was killed Thursday.
Lugo was wounded during the firefight and was treated by a medical unit before he was evacuated to a treatment facility
where he later died, states the release.
Sgt. Lugo had previously deployed three times to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq. He
served in the regiment as an ammunition
handler, automatic rifleman, team leader and
squad leader.
Sgt. Lugo received more than a dozen awards
and decorations, and posthumously was
awarded the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service
Medal and Purple Heart.
"Sgt. Lugo was a phenomenal warrior who was
universally respected by every member of this
command," said Lt. Col. Mike Foster, the 1st
Ranger Battalion commander.
"He died while protecting our nation from her
enemies and we will not forget his sacrifice,"
Foster said in a news release. "Our thoughts
and prayers go out to the entire Lugo family."
In Memoriam
Sgt. Martin Lugo Jr.
For the past month, we have asked all of you to participate in the Pepsi Refresh Project by voting for the AZ
Diamondbacks Jason Upton and his charity, Best Buddies Arizona. At stake was a $200,000 prize! The contest
ended Tuesday and the results are in! Best Buddies Arizona didn’t win $200,000 BUT they are still winners! Pepsi
has been very generous and will award Best Buddies with a $5,000 grant and Justin Upton and the D-backs have
added $25,000 to Pepsi’s donation! In addition, Justin Upton has been nominated for an award and selected Best
Buddies Arizona as his charity of choice, which means Best Buddies will receive an additional $7,500. That means
that Best Buddies Arizona will receive a total of $37,500 from this contest!
Thank you all so much for texting and voting! Every single vote counted – and it really paid off in many ways.

Rio Squawk Gets New Column
Speakers Bureau Unveiled Dear Readers,
There has been much growth and change in the Rio Squawk since it started as a one-page club bulletin
almost a year ago. Gradually, it grew into a multi-page newsletter and finally evolved into the news-
magazine you see today. From an in-house publication, it now has readership throughout the state and on
six continents around the world. Virtually every week, we receive correspondence from clubs in distant
lands, commenting on articles or asking for information. This is a good thing, for our original mission was
(and still remains) to provide a vehicle through which Rotary Clubs from around the world could talk to
each other and share information on a purely grassroots, club-to-club level.
Perhaps the biggest awareness gained from this exchange of information has been the obvious; we have
things pretty good here in the USA. Unfortunately, we lose that perspective when we tend to dwell only on
those things directly in front of us. While we grumble about the inconvenience of giving up a few minutes
once a week to attend a club meeting, there are many clubs around the world that cannot meet due to
catastrophes (floods, earthquakes, monsoons, eruptions, etc.) or political/civil unrest. Frequently, these
clubs have to change their locations so they have a safe meeting place. To them, meeting is a privilege, not
an inconvenience, worth every bit of effort it costs. They understand the value of fellowship; they
understand firsthand the importance of the work we do as Rotarians.
NEW COLUMN
In this issue, we are introducing the ―Speakers Bureau.‖
Frequently, we are asked for the contact information of our
speakers, and that’s understandable. It can be difficult to provide
quality programs for your meetings. To help other clubs in the
Phoenix metro area with their search for presenters, the addition of
the ―Speakers Bureau‖ will provide a directory of available
speakers in our area.
It is hoped that other clubs will add to the list so that we can all
benefit from the shared information and expand our Arizona
presenters’ pool. If you have a speaker you would like to add to the
directory, just send the information to me and I will see that it is
added. Ideally, we could use a photo, contact numbers, email
and/or web site, and a brief description about the content of the
presentation. This will help clubs determine the specific
appropriateness of the presentation for their club.
Yours in Rotary,
Pat

COVER STORY
NATIONAL AVIATION DAY
The National Aviation Day (August 19) is a United States national observation that celebrates
the development of aviation.
The holiday was established in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who issued a presidential
proclamation which designated the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday to be National
Aviation Day (Mr. Wright, born in 1871, was still alive when the proclamation was first issued,
and would live another nine years). The proclamation was codified (USC 36:A:I:118), and it
allows the sitting US President to proclaim August 19 as National Aviation Day each year, if
desired. His/her proclamation may direct all Federal buildings and installations to fly the US
flag on that day, and may encourage citizens to observe the day with activities that promote
interest in aviation.
The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867
– May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building
the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained
heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903. In the two years afterward, the brothers
developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first
to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft
controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.
The brothers' fundamental breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled
the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium. This method became
standard and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. From the beginning of their
aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on unlocking the secrets of control to conquer
"the flying problem", rather than developing more powerful engines as some other experimenters
did. Their careful wind tunnel tests produced better aeronautical data than any before, enabling
them to design and build wings and propellers more effective than any before. Their U.S. patent
821,393 claims the invention of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulates a flying
machine's surfaces.
They gained the mechanical skills essential for their success by working for years in their shop
with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machinery. Their work with bicycles in
particular influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be
controlled and balanced with practice. From 1900 until their first powered flights in late 1903,
they conducted extensive glider tests that also developed their skills as pilots. Their bicycle shop
employee Charlie Taylor became an important part of the team, building their first aircraft
engine in close collaboration with the brothers.
THEN…
...AND NOW!
1903 – 2010
Celebrating 107 years of flight.

33. ANNUAL ROTARY THEMES
In 1955 RI President A.Z. Baker announced a theme, ―Develop Our Resources,‖ to serve as Rotary’s program of
emphasis. Since that time, each president has issued a theme for his Rotary year. The shortest theme was in 1961-62 when
Joseph Ahey selected ―Act.‖ Other one-word themes were chosen in 1958-59 by Charles Tennent (―Serve‖) and 1968-69
by Kiyoshi Togasaki (―Participate").
Carl Miller, in 1963-64, had a theme for the times when he proposed ―Guidelines for Rotary in the Space Age.‖ Other
―timely‖ themes were in 1980-81 when Rolf Klãrich created ―Take Time to Serve‖ and William Carter in 1973-74 used
―Time for Action.‖ Two themes have a similarity to commercial advertising: ―A Better World Through Rotary‖ (Richard
Evans, 1966-67) and ―Reach Out‖ (Clem Renouf, 1978-79). Bridges have been a striking metaphor. Harold Thomas,
1959-60, urged Rotarians to ―Build Bridges of Friendship‖; William Walk, 1970-71, created ―Bridge the Gap‖; and Hiroji
Mukasa, 1982-83, declared ―Mankind as One Build Bridges of Friendship Throughout the World.‖
A worldwide focus was given by Stanley McCaffrey in 1981-82 with the message, ―World Understanding and Peace
Through Rotary,‖ and again in 1984-85 by Carlos Canseco who urged Rotarians to ―Discover a New World of Service.‖
In other years, the individual was emphasized, as ―You Are Rotary‖ (Edd McLaughlin, 1960-61), ―Goodwill Begins With
You‖ (Ernst Breitholtz, 1971-72) and ―You Are the Key‖ (Edward Cadman, 1985-86). Frequently the theme urges
Rotarians to become more involved in their club, such as ―Share Rotary — Serve People‖ (William Skelton, 1983-84) or
―Make Your Rotary Membership Effective‖ (Luther Hodges, 1967-68). But whether you ―Review and Renew,‖ ―Take a
New Look,‖ ―Let Service Light the Way‖ or ―Dignify the Human Being,‖ it is clear that the RI president provides
Rotarians with an important annual program of emphasis. in 1986-87, President M.A.T. Caparas selected the inspiring
message that ―Rotary Brings Hope.‖
Charles Keller in 1987-88 saw ―Rotarians — United in Service, Dedicated to Peace,‖ while Royce Abbey asked his fellow
members in 1988-89 to ―Put Life into Rotary — Your Life.‖ Hugh Archer (1989-90) urged us to ―Enjoy Rotary!‖ and
Paulo Costa (1990-91) asked that we ―Honor Rotary with Faith and Enthusiasm.‖ Rajendra Saboo (1991-92) exhorted
every Rotarian to ―Look Beyond Yourself.‖ In 1992-93 Clifford Dochterman reminded Rotarians, ‖Real Happiness Is
Helping Others,‖ and in 1993-94 Robert Barth counseled Rotarians, ―Believe In What You Do and Do What You Believe
In.‖ In 1994-95 Bill Huntley encouraged Rotarians to ―Be A Friend‖ to their communities. During 1995-96 Herbert
Brown asked Rotarians to ―Act with Integrity, Serve with Love, Work for Peace.‖ In 1996-97 the theme of Luis Giay was
―Build the Future with Action and Vision;‖ Glen Kinross in 1997-98 proposed the plan to ―Show Rotary Cares;‖ and
James Lacy asked Rotarians to ―Follow Your Rotary Dream‖ in 1998-99.
34. CARL P. MILLER DISCOVERY GRANTS
The late Carl P Miller, president of Rotary international in 1963-64, was a strong believer in humanitarian work that could
be accomplished at the grassroots level. Through the Matched Club and District Program, launched during his year in
office, he encouraged Rotarians to find opportunities for service in another country through ―people-to-people‖ contact.
The pairing of clubs and districts became an essential component of World Community Service. A successful newspaper
publisher Carl, along with his wife, Ruth, made a generous endowment gift to The Rotary Foundation to establish the Carl
P. Miller Discovery Grant program. Discovery Grants are intended to stimulate international involvement by clubs and
districts, providing up to US$3,000 for travel and related expenses incurred in developing an International Service project.
A Discovery Grant does not fund the project itself, but, rather, supports the ―people-to-people‖ contact necessary in the
preliminary stages to bring the project to fruition. Only clubs and districts or groups of clubs and districts are eligible to
receive these special grants that are awarded by The Rotary Foundation twice yearly in August and February.
I Choose INTUITION We're in the middle of a seven week series introducing the six mental faculties that
every human being on this planet has as a part of their thinking process. Whether or
not we use those faculties deliberately determines whether we are actually thinking,
or just experiencing mental activity. Whether or not we use our mental faculties
deliberately determines whether we actually LIVE our lives, or just experience the
same day, month, or year over and over again by default, at the mercy of our
subconscious programming.
Sooooo..... how have we all been doing? Have you been paying attention to what
you're doing with your imagination and your perception of things? Have you noticed
that YOU are in complete control of what you picture in your mind, and how you
choose to look at things? It's not possible for another person or a circumstance to
climb inside your mind and MAKE you think something that does not serve you. It's
also not possible for someone or something outside of you to choose thoughts that
DO serve you and insert them into your mind. You are the ONLY one who has that
kind of power for yourself, and it's through the practice of disciplining these mental
faculties that you train your mind, which in turn creates the healthy and fabulous life
that you WANT to be experiencing. This is the only way.
"So," you may be asking, "what if I haven't been able to find a way to gain the kind
of control you're talking about? What if I want to practice this, but all I can see is what I've always seen? I have problems
that I don't know how to solve. I don't have enough money. My relationship sucks (or I live a lonely life because it seems
there's no one I can have a relationship with). I hate my job. I don't like my life all that much. These are the facts of my
life and I don't know how to see them any differently."
I know how that feels, because I used to have the same kind of difficulty. And this brings us to the next mental faculty,
and the next verse in the poem...
When I ran from Portland in June of 2000, I knew that I HAD to change
the way I did things, or I was going to wind up either dead in the streets of
Phoenix, or back in Portland and dead at the hands of my abuser. I
discovered the power in my ability to choose my perception of things by
asking the question, "What would happen for me if I just made a decision
to look for what I WANT to see, in everything?" And as I asked that
question, with the expectation of FINDING what I wanted to see, I found
that it WORKED!!
I decided to do the same thing when it came to listening for - and to - my
intuition. I began practicing this with just general little things during the
bus ride from Portland to Phoenix. Gandhi said that the Voice for Truth
(the Voice for God, the Voice of Inspired Insight... call it what you will -
it's the voice or feeling or thought or "just knowing" that you can tell is
coming from the Higher part of You - the part of you that "Knows."), that
Voice speaks to every single one of us every single day, and it is as loud
as our willingness to listen. Well, I knew for a fact that I, as just my little
ol' self, had no idea what was the right thing to do. The only thing I could
do was be willing to hear what I have learned to call, "The Voice That
Loves Me."
Mary Morrissey says, "Go to the edge of the light you can see." That was
what I did then. I would ask, "Okay, what do I do NOW?" expecting to
get an answer, and I always did get an answer. Not always the one I
wanted, and certainly not always the one that would make things easy for
me in the moment, but ALWAYS the Right one. And it was (is) always
like a light was being shone on what I was to do next.
I can remember standing in the bus station with "only" $80.00 and no
place to go. I had to choose between getting a room for a whole week with $75.00 of my $80.00, or spending $54.00 of

"Dark Night" fades, becomes "New Day"
that $80.00 on ONE NIGHT in a motel. My logic said that getting a room for a whole week made a LOT more sense than
spending more than half my money on only one night.
Just a couple of days ago I heard Bob Proctor say that if you always do the logical thing, you will simply move sideways
in your same old life, rather than forward into the life you want. I have had enough experiences with listening to, and
following, my intuition - even when it seemed not just illogical, but downright stupid - to know what he meant by that.
That morning in the bus station I heard my intuition LOUD AND CLEAR as it let me know, emphatically, that the logical
thing for me to do was nowhere near the RIGHT thing for me to do! It was as if the Universe were shining a giant, high-
powered spotlight on the one-night stay, and sucking all the light OUT of the one-week stay. It was VERY clear to me
what I was to do. I listened, and I spent that $54.00 on a one-night stay. And those of you who have read Pop Your
Paradigm know for yourselves that it was most definitely what I was supposed to do to quantum leap myself forward.
There is no question at all that the $75.00 room would have definitely been a sideways move for me. It was a scary move
to make, but without that specific move my life could NOT have gone the way it did, which can only be described as a
quantum leap. I (the little me) could not have even begun to predict the sequence of events that that one decision
triggered. The dominoes fell into place one after the other - dominoes that I had no clue were there for me until I stepped
over and over to the edge of the light I could see.
I have many such examples, which I will be sharing (in depth) in the book I am currently working on. Let me just say here
that I know from my own experiences with asking for guidance from the Bigger part of me, EXPECTING to get a clear
answer - the Universe knows what it's doing, and it's safe to trust that Voice, or Feeling, or Knowing (however it shows up
so that you can recognize it).
If you would like to begin moving forward, rather than sideways, I recommend that you start practicing listening to your
Intuition. It knows far better than you do...
Please feel free to get in touch if you have questions or comments - I always love to hear from you! And have fun with
this! It is a GRAND adventure to take a scary step every once in a while!
In Gratitude,

~~Me~~
I Choose INTUITION This week I choose to ask for Guidance from that part of me that knows what is best for me
(the part that can see all the dominoes!), and I choose to listen and follow it, even if it seems
illogical or irrational. I choose to ask, expecting both an answer AND that I will recognize
the answer when it comes.

orphaned, injured and displaced animals indigenous to the
southern zone of Costa Rica. Working with the local community,
local businesses and government, they provide the best care
possible for the animals in our care.
We also strive to be an active and valuable member of our local
GOALS
Provide the best care possible for injured, orphaned and

community outreach.
OBJECTIVES
To care for orphaned, injured and displaced wildlife.
To maximize economic benefits for the local community.
To promote conservation through education and
community involvement.

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY EFFORTS
We believe that education and the promotion of conservation can be supported by appropriate eco-tourism. We

wildlife and habitat.
We are committed to a public education program to promote conservation and the protection and enhancement of
local habitat.
8We encourage research, support volunteer internships and endeavor to hire the local people to maximize the

and neuter clinics in the pueblos around Piedras Blancas NP).
EFFECTIVE CONVERSATION
Promote community values that support effective government regulations and
actions.
Promote the creation and dissemination of research; including comprehensive field
surveys, natural history studies, and long-term observation of released animals
Promote the care and preservation of habitats and ecosystems.
Support governmental agencies in their effort to enforce existing wildlife laws and
regulations. Part of this effort will focus on ensuring that law enforcement agents view
wildlife offenses with greater seriousness, and that fines imposed by magistrates reflect the gravity of the offenses
Bobbi de Haan’s Born to be Wild
Celebrating the Care and Husbandry of Exotic and Endangered Wildlife
HISTORY
The Osa Wildlife Sanctuary was established by Carol and Earl Crews in 1996.
Originally, the sanctuary was focused only on birds. Then, after Poppy, the spider monkey arrived on October 29, 2003 -
the flood gates opened. The sanctuary is now home to a wide variety of orphaned and injured animals (about 70 animals
in residence).
The sanctuary is situated on the Golfo Dulce coast at Cana Blanca. The property is contigous with Piedras Blancas
National Park. With the protection of Piedras Blancas, much of the original sanctuary property's 700 acres became part of
the Park.
Our Story
Carol and Earl Crews moved to Costa Rica after
visiting for many years and then started an eco-
lodge at Cana Blanca. The locals began to drop off
orphaned and injured wildlife, and soon there was
no time for guests.
With this dramatic change in focus, Carol and Earl
established the Osa Wildlife Sanctuary in 1996. In
the early days, it was primarily an avian sanctuary.
Then, after Poppy, the spider monkey arrived on
October 29, 2003, the flood gates opened to all
kinds of wonderful local critters. The sanctuary is
currently home to a wide variety of orphaned and
injured animals (about 70 non-human animal
residents). The sanctuary is situated on the Golfo
Dulce coast at Cana Blanca and is contiguous with
Piedras Blancas National Park. With the protection
of Piedras Blancas, much of the original sanctuary property's 700 acres became part of the Park.
Over the last few years, many of the sanctuary's animal facilities have been moved to the southern part of the property.
Many upgraded and new enclosures were built, including: a new Ocelot pre-release cage, the Titi pre-release cage, a red-
lored Parrot pre-release cage, a quarantine building, and cages for Capuchins, a Tayra, a Kinkajou, and the Sloths.
In the coming year we hope to complete the multi-purpose building, the animal kitchen and living quarters for the
volunteers, researchers and employees. We are drawing up plans for grasshopper and rat breeding facilities, to provide
live prey for the releasable animals that must learn to hunt to survive.
This work is only possible with your support. Please consider supporting us. Your donation will make a large difference in
an animal's life.

I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an old man and with him was
his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad part, the dog cried
his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the
way through the film. After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man.
"That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog really seemed to enjoy the
film."
The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is. He hated the book."
