The first program is next Wednesday, so I’ll see what days would work for
them then. The check for the plants has apparently already been dropped off
at the VCCP office, so I’ll pick that up next time I’m there and get it to
you.

thanks, Paul. Also, we need to coordinate the VCCP/Elementary school
project -- planting time is approaching -- can you and Adrianna figure out
a time that the ASU chapter would be available to plant? Does the teacher
want the kids there, too? They could water, or tamp down the soil or
something. Thanks.

We should talk to Beech Mountain about putting the tower there. They want--
to do a lot more birding stuff up there and I bet they’d help pay for it. I
can check on Friday at the bog bird walk if you want.

Hi there, a couple o items that have arisen since our board meeting:--
1) the new Collaborative Grant cycle - applications are due November
19th. If anyone has a project they would like to put forward, let us know
-- although we've done a good job spending our grant funding, at the
moment, I don't have any ideas for a project that would require additional
funding. Boardwalks at our various wetlands would be nice, but
unfortunately, most grants don't cover those, and they're usually much more
expensive than any grant money would provide.
2) Curits will be contacting us about installing a radio tower in our
area which would track all birds that have chips. There's currently one on
the coast, and if we were to have one in the mountains, it would help
provide complete state coverage. As a board, we have to decide if we want
to partner on this, either monetarily ($7000 or so is cost) or just with
outreach. Please let me know your thoughts. I think it would be a good
idea to have some idea of our position before Curtis talks to us.
Thanks!
Debbie.
