MONTHLY BULLETIN

LEGACIES 



The Society gratefully records the receipt of $10,000, initial payment on 

 a legacy of $20,000 from the estate of the late Mrs. Ernestine M. Kettle of 

 Weston. This goes, of course, to the Reserve Fund, the interest only of which 

 is used for the general purposes of the Society. It will be a perpetual re- 

 minder of the good will of our late Life Member and will help carry forward 

 for all time a good work which was very dear to her heart as it is to all mem- 

 bers of our Society. 



Sums donated by will to the Society are placed in the Reserve Fund of 

 the Society, a use of the money which has peculiar value because of its per- 

 manence. 



The altruistic work of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, carried on 

 for many years with increasing success, suggests the desirability of remem- 

 bering it in this fashion. All the funds of the Society are handled carefully 

 and conservatively, but the Reserve Fund, in the exclusive control of the 

 Board of Directors, is especially worthy of consideration of testators who 

 wish to make legacies of lasting usefulness.
