The luncheon meet- ing, catered by Bailey’s General Store, featured an inspirational lecture by Lee Williams, titled From China To St. Michael’s: A Personal, Spiritual Journey. For Williams, historic world events had a dramatic personal impact. She recounted the story of her mother, a Russian who walked 1,200 miles to China to escape the Revolution and who married an American stationed in the navy in Shanghai. Williams described being confined as a toddler in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Manilla. For three years, she remained there, until liberation by General MacArthur’s forces at the end of World War II. Further displacements took her to Tripoli, Libya and a number of locales Guest speaker Lee Williams chats with St. Members of the Girl Scouts of Fulfcoast Florida with their CROW staff members and volun- in America, where she finally settled as a Michael’s Rector Ellen Sloan teers and some of the patients teenager in Cleveland, Ohio. photo by Jan Holly Her spiritual journey took a surpris- Girl Scouts Donate To CROW ing turn when, moving to Dayton, Ohio with husband Tom, she joined an Episcopal Church and attended a Bible Study class.

About her spiritual path, she concluded, “The road was bumpy and circuitous, with many ups and down, hills and valleys. But the hills and valleys were all necessary parts of the journey.” President Norma Emerson led the business meeting, assisted by officers Betsy McCullough, vice president; Sylvia Heider, secretary; and Liz Coffey, treasurer. Roz Burroughs was the luncheon chair. December’s meeting, scheduled for Monday, December 14 starting at 12:30 p.m., features Christmas music and a demonstration of Ikebana holiday arrangements by guest speaker Brenda Norris.

Staff, students and a limited number of volunteers are working around the clock to feed Ithe orphaned, injured and abducted youngsters like rac- coons, opossums, baby birds, and dozens of little squirrels. The raccoon (Procyon lotor) room contains a number of little bandits that chatter day and night. They are generally orphaned and must be tube-fed and/or bottle-fed a milk supplement until they transition to solid meals similar to those fed to the opos- sums. Incidents of rabies and distemper are extremely low in baby raccoons; however, one is required to be up-to-date on certain shots in order to work with baby raccoons. The baby squirrel room is full of incubators to keep the youngsters warm and comfortable. They are tube-fed three to four times per day Fox Valley formula, a milk replacer specifically designed for baby squirrels, eastern cottontails and opossums. Once the healthy squirrels are weened and can eat soaked monkey biscuits, vegetables and fruit, they will be transferred out- side. CROW hopes to release them within three months of their arrival. If you love the islands’ diverse and exotic wildlife, please donate your time to feed and care for helpless baby birds, energetic little squirrels and injured gopher tortoises. Four-hour shifts are available and training is provided. For more information, call JoEllen Urasky, student program and volunteer coordinator, at 472-3644, ext. 229 or go to CROW’s website to download an application. If you don’t have the time to volunteer, you can do your part by donating items from the clinic’s wish list: paper towels, Purina ONE Kitten Chow, Purina Puppy Chow (no colored chunks), wild bird seed, bleach, fragrance-free laundry detergent, new or gently used bath and hand towels, red heat lamps (250W), garbage bags (42 gallons) and ceramic crocks of all sizes (ramekins, etc.).
