New members and new visitors turned out on an absolutely beautiful
and comfortable day for the Bristol Bird Club's 61st Annual Picnic,
held Saturday at Steele Creek Park.
BBC had 32 persons present for the evening, which began at
3 p.m. with members decorating the picnic shelter with balloons, banner,
flags and cutout flowers. The evening drew to a quiet close six
hours later as the last chairs were folded, coolers loaded and
decorations came down on yet another great gathering of
birders as sunset arrived at 9 p.m.
Four new member came for their
first club event. Shown sitting
at the left side of the table are
John Kelley and Sheri Kelly of
Abingdon, Sylvia Fraust and
Michele von Bergen of Mountain
City. The new members found
us on the internet.
As usual, it was an evening that included many birders coming from
across a wide region and from several bird clubs to take part in the
picnic.
The weather was perfect with cool temperatures and low humidity
which made conditions comfortable and enjoyable.
The food was super good with all the wonderful dishes prepared by
members.
It was also a great evening of just getting caught up, getting to know
each other better and making new members feel at home to enjoy
the BBC.
