During the GNTOS orchid show this past September our conservation drawing brought in $1000.  I divided that amount  in half and sent checks for $500 to the Orchid Conservation Alliance and to the Rainforest Trust.

OCA sent a nice email to thank me.  But the gratitude really belongs to all the people who participated in the effort. Below is the email from OCA.

Hi Charlie –
Thanks very much for your handsome donation of $500 to the OCA. Hopefully all has been well with you this year and we might see you on a trip sometime. I am way behind on writing up a note on the botanical illustration trip we took, but it was pretty cool. Another will be coming up in 2017. Keep June 2017 open.
Best,
