The Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter of TOS will have its annual banquet Friday, April 1, at Lynch's Farmhouse Gallery and Gardens, 121 Covered Bridge Lane, Unicoi. Covered Bridge Lane is off Unicoi Drive. Come to the Gardens at 6:00 p.m. or thereabouts to enjoy the gardens and birding habitat at the grounds. The dinner will be served about 7 p.m. Tom Hunter, Lebanon, VA, and Michele Sparks, Bluff City, will be the banquet speakers. Their presentation will be on the Clinch Mountain Golden Eagle Project of the Bristol Bird Club. Registration and payment for the banquet is required by March 29. The cost of the meal is $15 per person, which should be sent to our club treasurer: Ms. Darla Anderson (Phone: 423-282-8839) 3428 Berkshire Circle Johnson City, TN 37604-8911 The menu consists of BBQ Pork Sandwich, Baked Beans, Fried Apples, Brownie and drinks. If you prefer, a Baked Potato may be requested instead of the BBQ Pork Sandwich. If you prefer the baked potato substitution, please indicate this when you send your check to Darla. All are invited and welcome--last year Barney and Pat Keffer located a Prothonotary Warbler on their way into the grounds. Most of the attendees were able to view this warbler before dinner was served. Yesterday, there was a Ross's Goose on the grounds. While there are no guarantees, the venue lends itself to enjoyable birding and socializing as we gather for the meal. I hope to see you there. Roy Knispel, Pres.
