I have to share with you this great story of our recent trip to Rockport.  We love to show the photos that so many of you have helped produce, with the community.  And just the other day we had an exciting experience at the Allegro Women's Club.  I was talking to this wonderful group of ladies and asked, how many of them had copies of our books.  To my suprise not one person in the room had a book.  This was a first for me.  I was so excited to share the wonderful programs we have and the conservation mission that we spread to a group of untouched folks.  These ladies were unbelievable.  By the end of the meeting almost every lady walked out with a book.  We sold at least 50 Wildlife in Focus IV books and 16 Wildlife in Focus III books and a handful of notecards! Through these books we are able to spread the awareness and excitement about conserving our Coastal Bend wildlife and habitat.  
If you belong to a club or organization who has not been reached by the stunning photographs give us a call and we will put you on our calendar.
