Fellow Bird Enthusiasts: It is only ONE WEEK until "An Evening For The Birds"! This promises to be not only an enjoyable event, but an important one as well. Proceeds generated will help TWRA fund bird conservation programs in the state, as well as the Cherokee Memorial at Hiwassee Refuge. The event is also a bargain. For just $15.00 you get to: *Hear and meet Kenn Kaufman, renowned bird expert, author, and artist *Hear and meet Choogie Kingfisher, renowned and respected Cherokee storyteller *Sample desserts from some of Chattanooga's finest restaurants *Bid on a wide variety of items at the silent auction, including a TOS membership, birdhouses, artwork, and collectibles *Enjoy the company of other birders and make new friends To purchase tickets, call Clyde Blum at (423) 886-4130. For lodging, the Chattanooga Choo-Choo is offering a special $69 rate for a king or double room. Call 1-800-872-2529 and mention TOS. On behalf of the committee organizing this event, I want to thank Jan and the Nashville chapter for their donation/challenge, and to Wallace and the Bristol Bird Club for accepting the challenge. Those funds will go along way toward helping TWRA in their worthwhile efforts. I hope to see everyone next Friday at 6:30 pm! David Aborn Chattanooga, TN --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
