Sally Howell, our Nominating Chair for many years, is leaving the area. Sally, thanks for a job well done. You will be sorely
missed, but you leave the position in good hands. Good luck in your new location and endeavors.
Julien and his committee have planned 40 field trips for the coming year, starting in early September. It looks as if we will
be very busy with all of our field trips and other activities. Our fall picnic is September 10 at Bur-Mil Park, shelter #5, and the program committee has lined up great programs for each of our meetings.
The Piedmont Bird Club has planned the following donations:
$500 to Piedmont Wildlife Rehab
$500 to the Piedmont Land Conservancy
$200 to Guilford College students in avian studies
To request a complete copy of our budget for the coming year, contact Mike Howard, michaelnhoward@earthlink.net.
I am looking forward to seeing each of you at our activities during the upcoming PBC year.
Happy Birding for All,
Jim Strickland
