On February 10, 201 0, our new Executive Director, Terry Shepherd passed away unexpectedly from complications of the H1N1 virus. Her short tenure at CACS was marked by an enthusiasm and passion for learning more about our organization and figuring out how she could best use her talents to help CACS continue to provide high-quality environmental education experiences and opportunities for all ages to learn and discover more about the amazing ecology of Kachemak Bay. A memorial gathering was held for Terry on February 27, 2010. To honor the work that she was beginning at CACS and her growing love of Kachemak Bay, the CACS Board of Directors established the Terry Shepherd Memorial Scholarship Fund. 100% of your donation will go to a scholarship for youth to attend one of our summer camps. You may contribute at any Wells Fargo Bank to: The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies Terry Shepherd Memorial Fund. You may also contact us for further information.
We will miss Terry, but her energy and drive will remain with us always... |
