Sincerest Thank You’s … We are thrilled, honored and quite tickled pink to be able to announce that our yearend fundraising drive raised over $11,000 for Grand Canyon River Guides and our many important programs! It is extremely gratifying and even humbling to know that our members are such steadfast supporters of our efforts. The list below reflects all year-end contributors as well as those unsolicited donations received within the last two months. We wish we had space to list everyone who has donated to gcrg over the year. Each and every one of you has our sincerest appreciation! We also apologize for anyone we may have missed in this listing, so please let us know. Mr. & Mrs. Philip R. Albright Steve Anderson Bruce Andrews Betsey Arnett Steve Asadorian David Ash Will Barrett Bobbie Becker Sandy Bernstein Bill Bishop John Blaustein Guy Blynn Carl Boyer Joe Brazie Harriet Burgess George & Jean Campbell Jim Case Matthew Claman Gerri Clark Marion & Charles Classen David Clayton & Gayle Dekellis Jake Coggin Pat Connell Jim Cuthbertson & Cindy Magill Bob Dye Michael Ehlers Leslie Englehart Pat & Roger Essick Michael Fabry Stephen Fickett Richard Forkey Kent Frost Carlos Gallinger Hank Gentry Ardian Gill Phillip Gormley John Gray Jerry Handy Irv Hassenfeld Joanna Hawley-Jones Ingolf Hermann Chuck Higgins Denise Hudson Peter Huntoon Steve Jellinek Ed Jodice Dr. Robin Johnson Lois Jotter Cutter Jane & Robert Katz Foundation Donnel Kelly Joyce Knutson Irene Kosinski (in memory of Chet Kosinski) Susan Kovarik Blair Kuropatkin Gary Ladd Ronald Larsen Kiyomi Masatani & Gary Yamahara Scott Mascher Allyson Mathis Pamela Mathues Ken McCormick McJunkin Corporation Tom Moody Betsy Newcomer Joanne Nissen (in honor of Ann & Tony Anderson) Jerry & Judy Overfelt Wayne Peterson Rudi Petschek Kevin Qualls Richard Quartaroli Bruce Quayle Ann Raffel Marji Robinson Randy Rohrer Jack Schmidt Mark Schneggenburger Harry Schoening Jack Schuster Arthur Smith Phil Smith Newell Squires Walt & Nancy Taylor Suzu Tokunaga Bill Trevithick Claudia Turner Richard Turner Bill Vandergraff Ellen Voorhees Dick Warner Michael Wehrle page 24 grand canyon river guides
Greg Woodall Tim Yanacheck Gcrg would also like to thank our wonderful funders who have awarded us grants over the last six months (since our July 1 fiscal year commenced). Their significant funding support has bolstered many of our programs: Ceres Foundation—general support Chehalis Fund of the Tides Foundation—for the boatman’s quarterly review * Grand Canyon Conservation Fund—Guides Training Seminar, Adopt-a-Beach Program, Adaptive Management Program activities, and Grand Canyon Plant Field Guide Flagstaff Cultural Partners—Grand Canyon Plant Field Guide Grand Canyon Monitoring & Research Center— Adopt-a-Beach program Norcross Wildlife Foundation—oral history project Walton Family Foundation—for the boatman’s quarterly review *on the recommendation of Mr. Drummond Pike All in all, we thank every one of our members and all of our funders for standing behind us and believing in our organization and our goals. You buoy us up and make us strong. Lynn Hamilton Executive Director gcrg … But Could You Please Help Some More Iknow it may seem strange to thank our contributors and then ask for more help in the same breath (or at least the same page), but that’s pretty much par for the course. Gcrg could always use more of your help in a variety of ways. Here are just a few suggestions: 1. The 2003 tax year may have just ended, but the 2004 tax year has begun so if you didn’t have a chance to send us a contribution last year, why not send it now Our funding for the bqr looks to be nowhere near as significant as it was last year, so we count on you to take up the slack! Please help us out, won’t you These tax-deductible contributions help us enormously, while they help you on your taxes. It’s an eminently worthy cause, so do it today! Large or small, it all helps and we’re grateful for every penny. 2. I know it’s not something any of us likes to think about, but please consider naming Grand Canyon River Guides as a beneficiary in your will. The Colorado River and the Grand Canyon have most likely figured quite significantly in your life. A bequest to gcrg helps to protect those precious resources in perpetuity. It’s a wonderfully touching way to keep on giving to the place that has given you so much. 3. Come and volunteer in the gcrg office. If you know your abc’s, we can use you! We’ve had wonderful volunteers lately including Liz Sharp, Ellen Rocher and Bob Melville. You guys rock! Our stacks of filing are always threatening to topple, so even an hour of your time will help! 4. Pay your dues on time. Don’t let them lapse and loose the chance to read the bqr! Your membership dues keep us strong. And, I know I’ve said it before, but this is your organization. We wouldn’t be here without the support and vitality of our membership. We thank each and every one of you for all you do for the Canyon and the river, in ways large and small. It’s a deep love that we all share in our hearts. Please consider our suggestions above, and help us as you are able. Thanks so very much. Lynn Hamilton Executive Director gcrg boatman’s quarterly review page 25
