| Transcript | ...Chairman'sMessage, cont. we have an OG booth at various annual functions (GCBO Hummer Extravaganza, FeatherFest, etc.). We may eventually get to the point of having a "virtual" newsletter. But for now, we need to remember that OG is in business to do four things: provide the Learning Corner and monthly Speakers; provide monthly and quarterly Field Trips; print The Spoonbill, which includes the very important Clearing House; and provide the Upper Texas Coast checklist. That's our job, and has been for many years. Until everyone in OG embraces computer technology, that's the way things are likely to remain. It seems like it was just yesterday that we had Christmas Bird Counts, but it's that time of year again. The 2004-5 schedule of CBCs isn't published as this is being written, but should be available during November. Be sure to check it out at the TOS website www.texasbirds.org. We will have it on the back of the November meeting agenda, provided it's published by then. —Kathy Fan Outdoor Nature Club - Ornithology Group Approved Budget June 1, 2004 - May 31,2005 Beginning Balance $8,593.72 2004 Actual 2005 Budget Income Dues $ 3,400.00 $ 3,328.00 Sales $ 199.28 $ 150.00 Interest $ 5.45 - Contributions $ 25.15 - Facilities Deposit - $ 100.00 Quarterly field trip $10 fee - $ 500.00 Total Income $ 3,629.88 $ 4,078.00 Expenses Spoonbill $1,739.03 $1,792.00 Speakers $ 800.00 $ 1,250.00 Facilities Deposit $ 100.00 $ 100.00 Library $ 274.73 $ 150.00 Supplies $ 223.91 $ 230.00 Hawk Watch/Little Thicket $ 500.00 $ 500.00 Postage $ 282.61 $ 280.00 OG Business Cards/Brochures $ 158.82 - Display booth $ 548.55 - Featherfest $ 69.54 $ 80.00 Power Point Projector - $1,500.00 Total Expenses $4,697.19 $ 5,882.00 Budget surplus(deficit) $(1,067.31) $(1,804.00) Ending Balance $ 6,789.72 "Scenic Galveston" Restoration On Saturday, Sept. 18th, I went to volunteer with Scenic Galveston to clean marshes of debris and to transplant grasses in areas designated for marsh restoration. This took place on a stretch of I-45 between Bayou Vista and the causeway bridge (The John M. O'Quinn I-45 Estuarial Corridor). I arrived early to bird and to photograph the sunrise on this beautifully restored wetland, which steadily is being transformed into a gorgeous gateway vista into Galveston. I saw 20+ species in that first all-too-short hour. Evangeline Whorton and other dedicated volunteers quickly and ably assembled, registered, oriented, equipped, and dispersed incoming volunteers to pre-selected clean-up and restoration sites along the corridor. From an organizational standpoint that morning's operation was a ...continued on p. 4 |
