All of these Poems and Thoughts are written by an 84-year-old poet/biologist, Frank Maurer, always concerned about where we are headed, pricking society to simply conduct some clear thinking.
My Maurer/Timm Quail Ridge UCD Student Endowment (started just a few years ago, along with the 36-year-old Quail Ridge Wilderness Conservancy) is up to $200,000 now and growing.
If you wish to donate (for in perpetuity) with even a single donation, which will be matched, as long as funds are available, and are tax deductible through the University of California, Davis, email me at frankmaurer41@gmail.com for any information and/or instructions you need to confirm my legitimacy. Just state your questions, including donation instructions, and I shall respond.
IN ADDITION, Quail Ridge Reserve has a very central and facilitated Field Station. It has, for several decades, remained essentially nameless, except for the 'Field Station'. To turn things productive, I suggested we find a donor(s) to name this structure. The University of California, Davis, finally agreed that the naming donation would be a modest $500,000. (This is a very fair offer--most namings are in the millions!) The donor person, family, or group would have a naming shield on the building, as well as a plaque, explaining the identification of the donor. The University also agreed that all of the donation funds would be applied to the Maurer/Timm Quail Ridge UCD Student Endowment.
Please contact Frank Maurer frankmaurer41@gmail.com if you know of a possible donor to share in this honor. The possibilities include a person, a family, a business, or a nonprofit organization.
Devotedly yours,
Frank Maurer
