 pose. Such membership entitles the holder 

 to a continuous free subscription to

 api)ear. 1-ife membership fees, without 

 exception, are always placed in the per- 

 manent Endowment Fund of the Associa- 

 tion, and as we receive not less than 5 

 per cent income from our investments, 

 this means that by becoming a Life 

 Mt'niber one endows a sustaining $5 

 membershij). 



Up to the present time there ha\e been 

 enrolled OgS Life Members, which means 



that the Endowment Lund has been in- 

 creased from this source by $6q,8oo. 



To any thoughtful person the need of a 

 substantial endowment for an educational 

 institution of this character is of the 

 highest necessity and importance. For 

 this reason the Board of Directors docs 

 not hesitate to urge the members and 

 friends of the Audubon movement to take 

 out life memberships and thus aid in 

 placing the work on a firmer foundation. 



The fee for a Patron is $1,000 paid at 

 one time for this purpose. These fees, 

 likewise, are placed in the Endowment 

 Fund. To the pre.sent time four Patrons 

 liave been enrolled: Miss Heloisc Meyer.
