Hello all -
Hope everyone is staying cool this week! The summer heat may have you
thinking ahead to cooler seasons, and the RAS Board is thinking ahead to
next spring already. That's because Richmond Audubon Society has been
asked to serve as the hosts for the 2017 Virginia Society of Ornithology's
Annual Convention in the spring. We are very excited about this
opportunity and the chance to showcase the many wonderful birding locations
around Central Virginia. But, we need lots of volunteers to make that
project a reality. We'll need folks to help get speakers and programming
scheduled, to lead field trips, to handle registration and hospitality
during the convention, to handle details relating to the conference
facility, and to secure sponsors and donations for a silent auction. If
you are interested in helping out please respond to me at
president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We'd like to get a group of volunteers
together soon to get started working out the details.
Thanks!
ERG
Eileen Geller
President, Richmond Audubon Society
