My Front Page Article on TreeHouse Wildlife Center

I walked to the mailbox today and found that another one of my stories was on the front page of the Telegraph. I did a little dance around the end of our driveway and ended up jumping up and down. I'm most excited about this article because it means that TreeHouse Wildlife Center gets the much-needed publicity that they've been longing for.

TreeHouse is literally stuck between a rock and a hard place as an organization. They have to move off of their current property because the real owners want to move onto it, but the building plans they have for the new facility will cost over a million dollars. If you want to read my article, here's the link:

I know, I know; you have to copy and paste the site to get somewhere. I'm not that computer literate, I apologize.

So, Lynn Schreiber, the director of TreeHouse, told me that they haven't gotten nearly the amount of money that they should have. They are still in desperate need of donations from others. I hope that they are able to make it, especially with the economy being in the state that it is. It would be a shame to see a great organization like TreeHouse shut down after over 25 years of hard work for the community.

But anyway, my point is that I am happy that they at least made the front page. I don't know if the article indicated all that they wanted it to, but I do know that at least they might get more donations this way.
