August 22, 2010 Lorrie Otto Memorial Celebration
Lorrie Otto on whose ecological principles Wild Ones was started in 1977 passed away Saturday, May 29 at the home of her daughter, Tricia. As Lorrie wished and explained to us in her article in the JanFeb issue of the Journal, she was buried simply in a green and natural cemetery. Friends of Lorrie will be holding the Lorrie Otto Memorial Celebration on August 22, 2010 at Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 2-4 PM. Wild Ones will be honoring her life in various ways in the months to come as well. To leave a tribute in memory of Lorrie, and to share your thoughts, memories and best wishes. If you wish to donate a gift in Lorrie's name, she'd be most pleased if it was given to the Seeds For Education Grant Program which bears her name. You can make a donation in honor of her birthday September 9th as we have done during many past years.
