For years, upon request and at no charge, Mary Ann Tous provided presentations to interested groups in the South Padre Island area. She visited schools, libraries, museums, service organizations, and local nature groups where she brought Ila's mission to life with her interesting visual aids.
For Mary Ann, it has been very gratifying to see such public interest in what Ila had accomplished and to know that the spark which was lit so many years ago on a little barrier island off the coast of Texas continues to burn brightly.
