September Fund Raiser
|
Zippy Chip Windshield Repair is sponsoring a unique fund raiser for the Bird Center. Zippy Chip will graciously donate 40% of the cost of a windshield repair back to the Bird Center during the month of September! All you have to do is mention the 'Bird Center' when scheduling your appointment. It is that easy!

Most insurance companies have a program in place where they will waive the deductible for a windshield repair if you have full coverage. Without full coverage a typical repair is around $40.00. So at possibly no cost to you, you can help the Bird Center and support a new local business. (Will O'Neill has given a personal recommendation for this company.)
If you have been delaying having that chip removed, September would be a great time to contact Zippy Chip Windshield Repair, LLC. They are located in and service the Ann Arbor area.
To schedule your appointment in September call (734) 277-1625, and don't forget to mention the Bird Center. For more information you can visit their website at www.zippychip.com.
In Memory of Patty Turpen
It is with sadness that I inform you that Patty Turpen passed away on Saturday, August 14, after a brief illness. She had successfully battled cancer in the past, but it recently reoccurred.
Patty was an active volunteer for the Bird Center for the past two years, helping us in many ways. You might remember her working shifts at the Bird Center, or cleaning Mary Street in preparation for the season, hauling tables to our storage area during an election, bringing the diets in after preparing them in her home, or perhaps you saw her washing dogs at the Ann Arbor Animal Hospital's charity garage sale and dog wash. Patty's enthusiasm, good nature, and her devotion to helping animals will be greatly missed at the Bird Center.
There will be an informal memorial service on Sunday, August 22, at 2 PM at Island Park, in the second pavilion. Island Park is located in Ann Arbor. Click here for a map and directions. If you wish, you may bring a dessert.
Patty requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Bird Center or to the Ann Arbor Animal Hospital's Good Sam Fund. Please click on the hummingbird below if you would like to make a donation to the Bird Center in memory of Patty.
Bird Center helps with Oil Cleanup
Volunteers from the Bird Center are working with Focus Wildlife staff members to help with cleanup from the Marshall oil spill. Click here to view pictures taken at the cleanup site.
An article was recently published in Heritage.com and the printed version of Ann Arbor Journal about the Bird Center and the cleanup effort.
