Dear ,
 The bluebird incident occurred on Saturday morning. Three baby birds were discovered on the ground right below the birdhouse. The bottom had fallen out.
Mama and papa were helpless in a nearby tree. The babies were bundled back into their nest and the bottom of the house re-engineered. Then I waited and watched. Surely mama and papa would fly right over and check on them. But they didn't. Finally, over an hour later parenting resumed but it was only after I was completely out of the way, and a distant observer. I wondered why it took so long, but of course there was never an answer.

t's a little like what happens when you make a gift to an organization you like to support. You would like to receive updates on how things are progressing, perhaps the answer to a question you've had for a while. So, you make the gift and wait only to find that you still have the question.
Why not pick up the phone and call the Executive Director? Why not get your friend the organization board member to the side at an event and let them know you're interested in knowing more about the organization and how donor gifts (really your gift) is being used?
