At this hour, the Bristol Bird Club is awaiting word from the President-Elect of the Tennessee Ornithological Society as to whether he and his lovely wife, Anita, will attend the big BBC Regional Christmas Party next Saturday, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m. The invitation was extended last evening. Danny Gaddy lives just over the line in Georgia at Chattanooga. Since he is subscribed to Bristol Birds Net, a little heat from the BBC might make a diffference. His acceptance will immediately become news on the statewide listserv TN-Birds since every birder in Tennessee keeps and eye on him ;-) If President-Elect Gaddy is at the party, we shall begin with his lighting a candle connecting us to all Tennessee Ornithological Society members everywhere. It will be our launch into 2005. It will begin our destiny as a club in TOS for the year 2005. It will introduce all of TOS to the excitement that Northeast Tennessee birders will bring to birding in Tennessee. And the leadership that Danny Gaddy has requesterd from our club during his two-year terms. He has asked and he will receive. We have invited him. And we wait his response. Maybe we will get his response via an e-mail to Bristol Birds Net. Everyone standby with great anticipation. I am very anxious. What will we do ? What will we do ? Let's go birding...
