Even if you don\u2019t have an inch of wall space left, please join us at the opening reception to look at beautiful prints, and enjoy comradery and cheer! Note: a print would make a terrific holiday gift! \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planned speaker for our regular November 13 meeting has left Audubon Mid-Atlantic (for DCNR). So, we are substituting something completely different<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will give you a preview of the Wheeling bird print collection via a slide show and by bringing a few examples to the meeting. To give other CAS members a similar opportunity, we invite anyone who has a bird-related item to sell to bring it to the meeting. We ask that if something sells, you consider making a donation of part of the proceeds to CAS. We\u2019re just giving you a venue to dispose of no-longer-needed binoculars, bird books, bird art, feeders, etc. And at some time in the near future, you can donate to a worthy cause – Conococheague Audubon Society! Payment for anything offered should be via cash or check, made out to the seller. No payments should be made to CAS for stuff offered in this way. We don\u2019t want to put our non-profit status at risk. So, come to the meeting and learn about prints, some of the artists, and see some of the prints, and browse what other birders are ready to part with. Maybe you can find a gift or something you\u2019ve been wanting. This is a one-time happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkins are behind us and holiday decorations lie ahead. Here are tips for \u201creusing\u201d those pumpkins (from DCNR resource Newsletter — October 25, 2023):  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
