Dear MICA members and friends,
We are very pleased to report that the 11th Annual Gala Dinner and Auction produced record financial results of $74,000.
We offer a hearty and sincere 'thank you' to all those who contributed to the success of the event:
- to our generous artists and auction donors,
- to our Corporate Supporters ,
- to the many volunteers,
- and to all those who attended
Collectively you have all made the evening so successful. THANK YOU.

Funds raised will go towards the partnered acquisition of Bella Island with the province of Nova Scotia. The closing is December 18, 2013 and the project still requires prior cabinet approval.
We offer a sincere thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Bella fundraising campaign to date. Including available funds, donations to date, and this recent GDA, we only require approximately $10,000 to meet our financial commitment of $250,000.
For those who haven't yet contributed toward this campaign, please consider doing so to enable us to bring Bella back into public ownership for conservation and for traditional public use.

Thank you again for making the 11th Gala Dinner and Auction the best yet.
Please contact any of the MICA Directors with your comments and suggestions. We appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely,
MAHONE ISLANDS CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION DIRECTORS
