<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Here are 5 reasons why you should consider making a donation to the<br />Minnesota Dragonfly Society through "give to the MAX" today.</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) Because the MDS is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization your donation today is tax deductible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) Your donation today may help to pay for supplies and logistics costs for doing dragonfly surveys around the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlG-700ZT963PeZn59NMBWhf6QjBzrlKUZ_UH0zicjveMWU9uIeQkKUjJWMUg4bVt4G-dlppnmvRn9REAooGqmYQdUxadKqnoJ1BNInViU-EzpvCvYfnCiz1DQs9tq2aTYOcdzBT6cGQ/s1600/DSA+survey+P7130021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlG-700ZT963PeZn59NMBWhf6QjBzrlKUZ_UH0zicjveMWU9uIeQkKUjJWMUg4bVt4G-dlppnmvRn9REAooGqmYQdUxadKqnoJ1BNInViU-EzpvCvYfnCiz1DQs9tq2aTYOcdzBT6cGQ/s320/DSA+survey+P7130021.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) Your donation today may go further because of bonus prizes awarded by "give to the MAX" through out the day. This includes a $10,000 bonus which is randomly chosen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4) Your donation today can help pay for MDS outreach. MDS participates at events around Minnesota typically free of charge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

The dragonfly flight season is almost upon us and the Minnesota Dragonfly Society invites you to join us at one of our many upcoming events, surveys, and more!<br />
<br />
This year, we’re offering a brand new training for MDS members as well as current and future volunteers. Find out about the many volunteer opportunities MDS has to offer, learn how you can be more involved with MDS, and learn or refresh your adult dragonfly and damselfly ID skills in both an indoor lab and outdoor field session (weather permitting). Check out the flyer and detailed schedule below, then please <a href="mailto:volunteer@mndragonfly.org">RSVP</a> to reserve your space for this training if you're interested in volunteering with MDS!<br />

It will be a busy field season and there are many great ways to get involved with MDS. This is your opportunity to learn more and brush up on your skills before your first net swing!<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span>We hope to see you at the training or at another MDS event in the near future.
