Tune
in for a "wild time" in Austin!
If you live in the Austin area and get KLRU public TV channels 9 or
18,
be sure to tune in Thursday nights at 8pm to "Downtown- As Austin
As It Gets"- Season Three. This series kicks off with a vignette
featuring Hicks Foundation Directors Jere and Lynn Raridon rescuing
some raccoons from the Capitol and discussing the importance of keeping
wildlife wild- even in downtown Austin! This episode kicked off season
3 and will be repeated through out the summer- so try to catch this
unique to Austin show!

Kudos
are in order....
Pre- season fundraiser at Alamo Drafthouse a big success!
Many thanks to our volunteers, the staff at the Alamo Drafthouse downtown
and especially you- our friends, supporters and fans of Bill- who made
our 3 night stand a rousing success amd helped us raise 20% of our annual
budget. This helps to get the season off to a very strong start, and
not a day too soon. Our team of rehabbers already has more than 30 oppossums
in care, plus a myriad of squirrels, birds and the first 2 litters of
raccoons, and it's only mid April!
More Thanks.....
A Special Thank You to William Burgess in LA who organized an event
there to raise some funds
for the critters and keep Bill's legacy alive, thank you William.

Call for volunteers!
For those of you who signed up, have emailed or called about how you
can help, we have some opportunities for you! Help with a massive clean
up at Director Jere Raridon's house. We need able bodied folks to bring
gloves, weedwhackers, lawnmowers, chain saws and tools as we try to
help get the grounds cleaned and organized in preparation for the summer
animal season. We also need any one with carpentry skills who can help
complete assemblage of a storage shed, repair AC duct and possibly even
patch a roof.
Food, beverages and lots of camaraderie provided. RSVP to Lynn via email
(info@billhicksfoundation.org) or call 461-2355 for more information.
An as always- thank you for your continued
care and support, or as Bill would say..
"Until you can name all of the animals, shut up and go back to
the garden"
