We had a great meeting last night with 24 people in attendance. 4 visitors and 1 member`s first meeting. John Moyle presented a list of field trips for next year that included some good out of town weekend trips and an 11 day trip to Ecuador. John Hay presented a program on wintering waterfowl that stirred up a good question and answer period. Larry McDaniel filled us in on the wildlife weekend at Steele Creek Park this coming Friday and Saturday. I asked about a volunteer to host our Christmas party and had 2 people tell me they would do it. I was pleased to see some longtime members that had not been around for a while and I appreciate everyone who attended. I have already had 2 emails this morning expressing encouragement in a resurgence for the club. Thanks, it takes everyone for us to be successful. Dave Worley
