Box 271374, Zip 77277. Thursday, Aug. 4: Ornithology Group meeting at Bayou Manor, 4141 S. Braeswood, 7:30 p.m. Kelly Bryan of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will speak on the bird life and bird management efforts in the new, and not yet open, Kickapoo Caverns State Park and Devil's Sinkhole State Park. Saturday, Aug. 20: Ornithology Group field trip to Bolivar Flats with David Dauphin as leader. Shorebird migration will be well under way at this time, so plan on spending half a day birding at Bolivar Flats. We'll meet at 7:30 a.m. at the parking area by the north (Bolivar end) ferry landing. Bring cold drinks and sun block. A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN by Ed Rozenburg We take it for granted at each Ornithology Group meeting at Bayou Manor that we will have the nice auditorium, stage and other facilities that help our meetings run smoothly and comfortably. It is unlikely that these would be at our disposal if it were not for Mrs. Marion Taylor. Mrs. Taylor is our sponsor at Bayou Manor. She makes arrangements for the room and, as sponsor, must be there at each meeting. She receives the complaints from Bayou Manor residents and management if we are too noisy, stay too late or break something. Let's try to make her job as easy as possible. Marion and her husband, Mr. E. W. Taylor are longtime members of the Ornithology Group and the Outdoor Nature Club. Unfortunately, Mr. Taylor is very ill, so they cannot participate actively in most other club activities. If you have not met Marlon Taylor, make an effort to do so at the next meeting and express our appreciation for her efforts to help keep our club meetings going smoothly. A SALUTE TO SOME SPOONBILL VOLUNTEERS The editors of The Spoonbill would like to salute some volunteers who help get your copy into your mailbox each month. Connie Clark is the Layout Artist who takes time to fit the whole thing together from a pile of copy. She never knows when the effort has to be made, because your editors don't know either; two months of last year we had no Clearing House but kept waiting day by day until we had to publish without it. There have been times when the editor appeared on Connie's doorstep at night and sat waiting while she pasted up so that The Spoonbill could go to the printers in the morning. Connie has never let us down, and we thank her for her help and forbearance. Peggy Milstead has been in charge of the subscription list for who knows how long. She updates a list that is never the same, deals with new members and changes of address and the times when the Post Office inexplicably returns a copy with the correct address. At dues time she updates the list until the last minute because she is so conscientious. It is an exacting job, and we thank Peggy for carrying it out so accurately, month after month, year after year, getting those labels ready. Yetta Chapman was mailing The Spoonbill when our editorship began. Soon after, Connie Schimbor took over. Mailing means putting on labels, separating the copies by zip code and counting them out into bundles of equal weight for the bulk mailing and delivering them to the Post Office- When we inserted a dues page or other extra the mail person did it by hand to keep the printer's bill down and save the OG money. If you get your Spoonbill later than other people, blame your local Post Office, because Yetta and Connie have always mailed promptly. We thank them for their contribution. It takes a lot of work to publish our news-letter. We could never do it without volunteers wbo do tedious work each month, and do it accurately and consistently. |
