LIFE MEMBERS AND THE ENDOV^MENT 



One may become a Life Member of the 

 National Association of Audubon Socie- 

 ties by the payment of $100 for this pur- 

 pose. Such membership entitles the holder 

 to a continuous free subscription to 

 Bird-Lore, and the receipt of various 

 publications of the Association as they 

 appear. Life 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 

 Member one endows a sustaining $5 

 membership. 



Up to the present time there have been 

 enrolled 6g8 Life Members, whio-h means 



that the Endowment Fund has been in- 

 creased from this source by $69,800. 



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 does 

 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 present time four Patrons 

 have been enrolled: Miss Heloise Meyer, 

 Mr. William P. Wharton, General Cole-
