Iowa Wildlife Center Fundraiser
02/04/2011
Last year I met a lovely woman, Marlene Ehresman, and found that we have many shared visions. We share a love for animals, nature and wildlife and a desire to bring people back into connection with this important aspect of our lives. Marlene is the Executive Director of the Iowa Wildlife Center which is still a dream, but is certainly on its way to reality. The Iowa Wildlife Center has been donated a beautiful piece of land near Ledges State Park to build a wildlife rehabilitation and education center. To read all the details of their plans go to www.iowawildlifecenter.org. They are currently running a “Raise the Ribs” fundraising campaign to be able to build this dream. If you are a nature lover and want to support a local cause, I highly recommend this group! Marlene and others from the organization will be at the Wildbirds Unlimited store, 213 Duff Ave in Ames, on Saturday, February 12 10am-3pm and Sunday, February 13th from noon to 4pm. This fundraiser is ongoing, so if you don’t see them there, you can check their website for ways you can volunteer and/or donate. I am looking forward to all they have to offer our community.
