[wwg <wwg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The meeting of the Bristol Bird Club last Tuesday enjoyed an narrated slide 
show by Rick Knight of field trips led by Gary Wallace throughout the 
years. Destinations included national parks and monuments, wildlife 
refuges, BLM camping areas, and seashores, from Maine to California, from 
the Florida Keys, to Montana and Canada. I don't have the complete list 
because after a while, I forgot to take notes because I was enjoying the 
pictures. I have seen many of those places in books and magazines. Showing 
birds and other wildlife seen in those special places made the program very 
interesting.

We didn't have much time for business, but will be discussing activities 
for the calendar at the upcoming weekend at Natural Tunnel State Park. 
Remember that we have walks on Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM. 
The walks will meet at the front porch of the Cove Ridge Center at the park.

One of the items that we will discuss at NTSP will be manning a booth at 
the Highlands Festival in Abingdon between July 29th and August 13th. We 
will not have a booth the entire time. The booth it being provided to the 
BBC by the Holston River Soil & Conservation District, USDA (Shauna 
Russell). We need to advise them when we want the booth. I am sure that we 
can't staff it for the entire time or perhaps even all the weekends. We may 
only be able to do it one or two days. Let me know what you think and what 
days you could help.

Remember the other upcoming events: Kingsport Funfest Bird Walks at Bays 
Mountain Park July 15th and 22nd sponsored by Wards Feed Store; the BBC 
Picnic at Steele Creek Park, July 1st;  the next regularly scheduled BBC 
meeting, July 18th (location - TBA) with a exciting program.

Attending the meeting were Don Holt*, Jacki Henshaw*, Nancy Necessary, 
Diana and Dave Worley*, Karen Quesenberry*, Janice and Fred Martin *, Mary 
Erwin *, Judy Roach, John Moyle, Jack Litz*, Ellen Parker*, Charlie 
Parker*, Chris O'Bryan*, Rudy Morales*, Rob Biller, Reece Jamerson*, Rick 
Knight*, and Bill Grigsby*.  Those mared with an * met for dinner at the 
Mad Greek.
