CHEERS! from the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory to two long-time volunteers honoured at the Observatory’s annual general meeting Saturday, May 28.  Myrna Wood and Terry Sprague were fêted by the Observatory’s President Rosemary Kent and vice –president, Cheryl Anderson.
Both Myrna and Terry served on the first board of directors of the Observatory.  They were also instrumental in starting the annual Spring Birding Festival.  Terry continues to lead birding hikes every May during the festival.  Myrna is involved in saving valuable birding habitat from industrial development.
“Myrna is a woman who never gives up,” Anderson read. “She thinks through problems and finds a way to get to the best solution.  Her long experience in activism has made her a valuable member of our community.  We are delighted to honour her with this Certificate of Appreciation from PEPtBO.”
Rosemary read Terry’s citation which began: “Where does one begin to acknowledge the extraordinary contributions that Terry Sprague has made to and for ‘all things natural in the County’?  “Terry has dedicated both his working life and his “life-in-retirement” to increasing people’s appreciation, knowledge and understanding of the natural world. For over 15 years, he has also given generously of his time and expertise to PEPtBO.
The PEPtBO community extends congratulations to these two dedicated volunteers.”
