[Osta-board] OSTA/DIACK ecology grant money available

[bcarlsen]

Good morning board members,

       Yesterday I deposited an OCF check for $17,945 into the 
OSTA/DIACK account at the Sterling Savings Bank.  This makes a total of 
$110,009 in the savings account and $22,059 in the checking account that 
is available for immediate grants.

       The OCF investments made +6.6% for the quarter, +0.4% for the 
one-year period, and 14.7% for the three-year period.

       The message that you need to get out to your friends and 
colleagues when you see them this summer, is that these DIACK grants are 
available all year.  There is no deadline for submitting a grant 
request.   Now that school is out, your colleagues may have more time to 
put together a request for funding.

       The application form may be found on www.diack-ecology.org

       Thank you for all that you do for science education!

                Peace and friendship,    Bernie
