Bimonthly Newsletter

Page last updated on March 20, 2008

The newsletter is published on a bimonthly schedule. This year the schedule starts with the Sept/Oct issue. Contents of the newsletter vary from issue to issue, but generally are a mix of information about local activities, national and international issues, bird sightings, meeting announcements, and just about anything that can reasonably be considered of interest to members of the local chapter. If you wish to contribute an article, please address it to our editor:
