Hi Friends! Preserving for future generations the wildlife that we were lucky to cherish growing up is extremely important to us. Conservation will become one of our current society's most important legacies, and we've chosen to contribute. Thank you for any and all gifts - we will be sending all contributions to the following organizations: David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is dedicated to the preservation and protection of Africa's wilderness and its denizens: http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/ The Enviornmental Defense Fund: http://www.edf.org/ The World Wildlife Fund is committed to protecting biodiversity on a global scale: http://www.worldwildlife.org/ Royal Society for the Protection of Birds: http://www.rspb.org.uk/

We have one HUGE and essential thing missing from our apartment: a place to keep wine. Our fridge is groaning from under the weight of the bottles in there, and muttering something about how it's only supposed to be used for kale, peaches and fino sherry. Help us with proper storage -- and reap the benefits when you come and visit!

We are wine geeks (you already know this!) and we brought home from Paris 5 beautiful, rare Larmat maps of the Champagne region. We'd like to have them framed so all who visit can enjoy them!

Eichornchen!
