GVAS Big Year 2012
Join the Fun!
Did you see the movie “The Big Year” released this fall? Or maybe you attended our October program “Extreme Birder” with Lynn E. Barber. Both are about people traveling the country in attempts to see rare birds and counting as many different species as they can see in one year. The GVAS Board has decided to do a Big Year in 2012; however, we have limited ourselves to Monroe County.
GVAS in search of a Board Member and President.
The Board of Genesee Valley Audubon Society is looking for one new board member who is willing to take on a lot: we want a new President. We are prepared to send you to the Chapter Leadership Camp on Hog Island, August 26 – 31. We need someone who is prepared to be President for two years, someone to help us inspire our members to become more involved and to reach out to the community.
