Here we are, almost half way through the year. We have held photo contests, had a spaghetti sauce competition, preparing for our annual picnic and seminar and looking forward to elections and the Christmas party.

I have enjoyed being president of our club and am excited at having a wonderful group of volunteers involved in our organization.

We have a generator now, temporarily housed with Garry, our Disaster Preparedness Guru. We are fast on track of becoming one of the most unusual bird clubs in the United States. As members of this club, you can be proud to be a part of it.

We continue with our educational programs at monthly member meetings, seek out donations for our fund raising table, asking volunteers to raise their hands to help out.

Please remember, your club is only as good as its members. We can ALL make a difference in a birds’ life.

-- Kathleen O'Keefe, President
