I donated to Wesley Community to renovate the community room. Here is a chance to help seniors by enhancing their lives at Wesley Retirement Community.

I am pledging to walk during the month of June to support The Wesley Community. It will help to enrich my health, but more important, raise funds for the renovation of the Resident Activities Room at Wesley Health Care Center. Wesley Health Care Center cares for 342 residents and this room is really...

Thank you friends for liking Happy Tonics. I am retiring from the nonprofit environmental education organization and public charity and closing down the Internet presence. I would like to transfer friends from this page at https://www.facebook.com/Natural-Pollinator-Habitat-Saratoga-Springs-New-York-257029861007844/timeline/ We have a large audience at Happy Tonics, but the other page as over 300 likes globally and we have many international bee friends. I would rather post to one page than multiple pages. Let me see if I can transfer some of you to this other page.

It's a shame that Shell Lake, Wisconsin, did not understand this concept with the Monarch Butterfly Habitat and the Department of Public Works. It appears that the State is not on the same page as the Federal Government. Once again, other states out paces Wisconsin in restoring roadsides for pollinators.

The Monarch Joint Venture is a partnership of federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic programs that are working together to support and coordinate efforts to protect the monarch butterfly migration across the lower 48 United States.

of 2015. The Website at www.happytonics.com will be closing down on October 9. I will disengage this page also. For seven years, I have led the nonprofit in WI, MA and NY. We are closing out MA because we have taught the teachers. They can fly on their own now. NY is basically taking care of butterflies so we can shut this down. WI will continue with other officers and board members in Wisconsin. Ever forward. Our Monarch Butterfly Habitat has been rescued and has been replanted at the Lac Courte Oreilles Agricultural and Research Station. I am honored that our board and officers rescued the Shell Lake plant community and fencing to carry this Mission forward on tribal land. No one can destroy our pollinator habitats now. Viva la Monarca Mariposa!

I passed by the Butterfly Reserve on South Broadway, near Dog's Park and the milkw**d is drying out. Hopefully the pods are shaping up. I need to get out there to pick pods and save seeds someday soon.
