As one of the fundraisers that COTERC held this past year, we sold raffle tickets for a free trip to the Costa Rican Rainforest, to be guided by COTERC chair Tom Mason, who is Curator of Invertebrates and Birds at the Toronto Zoo, as well as being a renowned herpetologist. He has led several groups down to Costa Rica in previous years and has been praised for his extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna.

The winner is David Andrew of Port Hope Ontario. David his shown here holding his winning ticket. The draw was conducted at 820 Jomar Ave in Pickering Ontario on January 1, 2009 at 8:oop.m. and drawn by Tom Mason.

Congratulations. The winning ticket was sold by Joanna Romani. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Grant Crossman of National Reptile supply for donating this prize.
