Hello CINC Volunteers,
Your time and dedication is very important to the sanctuary and park. 
After this was message was sent out it was pointed out that we forgot to 
mention HAL ALTMAN for his five years of service! So thank you to Hal 
and all of you for your dedication to the Channel Islands Naturalist 
Corps volunteer program. For those of you returning in 2011 a notice 
will be coming out soon with meeting dates.
Take care,
Shauna
