Dinner Update

We had great hopes to have a fun dinner with a dynamic and interesting speaker from the Long Island Pine Barrens Society in late October. But, as the date edged closer and people’s comfort levels are really not where they need to be in order for us to meet, greet and have a successful dinner, we have sadly decided to table it until the spring (no pun intended). As the dinner is a big fund raiser, Great South Bay Audubon had been financially affected, like nearly all other not-for-profits. But, as you can see from the other information in this newsletter, all is not lost. There is some great news to report. We are continuing to host meetings beginning again in September and have terrific speakers lined up. These meetings will most likely be totally virtual, but the details as well as meeting i.d.’s will be available on our website. And – checkout the victory news for The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) – a passion of mine, along with trees.Â
