New bequests
THE SOCIETY continues to reap the benefits of the loyalty and generosity of some of our older members, and received two major bequests late last year. One, from the estate of M.M. and WJ. Cole, was for over $150,000 for conservation work in Auckland, including development of the Matuku reserve in west Auckland. We were also the sole beneficiary of the estate of the late John Ford, formerly of Tauranga, killed four years ago on a cycling trip around Europe. To the surprise and delight of treasurer David Underwood, a cheque for $500,000 was handed over by Mr Ford’s brother, Ken, at a small ceremony at head office in November. These bequests will contribute significantly to the society’s conservation work in the coming years.
