I'm sitting here at the Coverts Project office trying to finish up my reporting for the end of the year. Instead of finishing, I'd rather share with you some of the reasons I'm thankful this year. I'm thankful for:
- Coverts Cooperators who gave over 34,000 hours of their time this year (Whoa.)
- Stable, generous financial support for the Coverts Project from NH Fish and Game
- Snow at Halloween (am I alone in this one?)
- Overcoming my fear of Facebook (thanks to my colleague Emma C!)
- George Tomborello (CC09) offering to host a Coverts Project pig roast next August (save the date of either August 19th or 24th, 2012)
- Hiking Moat Mountain in November with family and friends
- Coverts volunteers who have so far contributed over $1200 to the Habitat Stewardship Brochures Fundraiser (our goal is $6500...perfect for end-of-year donations!)
- My town voting to maintain 100% of our Current Use Change Tax fund going to the Conservation Fund
- Colleagues who bake things and bring them to work for the rest of us
- My other colleagues who don't bake things but are really smart and nice and funny and wise and helpful and great at what they do
- iPhone cameras that make photos fuzzy so you can't see facial wrinkles (see example at right)
- Over 50% response from volunteers to the 2011 Coverts Project Survey - thank you for helping us tell the amazing story of Coverts Cooperators
- Have a great holiday season! - Malin Clyde, Coordinator, NH Coverts Project
We can all be thankful to have Malin Clyde for a leader in the Coverts Program. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Yes, Malin, we are all thankful for the effort and leadership you have "vested" in the program. And we hope that with enough of these comments you will consider continuing to walk up front. . . . . eyes on the horizon. . . . . giving us the information we need to follow through on our dreams of saving the land we are familiar with. . . . the areas we have walked . . . and know as home to more than just us.
Keep plowing girl. You're doing good.
Have a cool Yule.

Malin,
I am so thankful to have taken the Coverts Program. You are
such an inspiration to so many people. We are truly blessed
to have you as our leader. Thanks for the mention of the pig roast
and thank you for your devotion to Coverts Program. Merry Christmas and may God bless you in the new year.
George Tombarello
