volunteer a little of your time and give a gift to yourself and audubon, by ann kramer
Skagit Audubon thrives when our members give of their time and skills to help us. Whatever your talents are, we have many activities going on all year long and we could really use your help!!
Whether you have skills in helping at an event, birding id, planning activities, data entry, field trips, educating, or helping our leaders, there are many ways we can benefit from your skills. Perhaps you don’t even really know just yet what those skills are and where you can contribute them. Let us help you find out!
You can share your time regularly, monthly, yearly, or on occasion with as little or as much as you wish. It’s up to you to set how much time you can give us. Our chapter, our leaders and the community habitat all will benefit and appreciate your time and energy.
At the same time, you can give a gift to yourself by volunteering. What many of us don’t yet know is how beneficial the act of volunteering is to ourselves and our own sense of happiness and satisfaction. We often find ourselves these days on screens, feeling disconnected and bored and yes, sometimes lonely. Studies have found that passive activities do not bring us as much satisfaction as active ones.
Volunteering is a gift you can give yourself, to connect with others, to learn, to feel you are giving something back.
If you’re interested, or just want to explore the options, contact us and explore ways you can help that fit into your schedule. We will be so happy to have you!!!
the Big Sit!
Was a big success! Twenty Skagit Audubon members, spouses, friends and some non-members participated. The weather at Rosario Head could not have been more perfect. A separate “home count” done by a member added 12 species to the 48 species tallied at Rosario for a total of 60 species! We raised enough money to support three scholarships benefiting the Environmental Studies program at Skagit Valley Community College. Thank you to everyone who participated!
