Chestnut-sided WarblerThe annual meeting and election of officers and directors of the Rutland County Audubon Society will be held on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 6 PM at the Proctor Library. Our organization is dependent on volunteers to carry out our mission of preserving and protecting the habitat of birds. The demand for volunteers, however, seems to far exceed the supply. We have completed many good projects, but there is always much more we could do with more help.
A good way for a beginner to get started is to attend some of our events such as a monthly marsh walk or even a board meeting as our guest. Hopefully, you will learn about us and be willing to do more. The next step would be joining our board of directors. Our directors are really the foundation of the organization. They are dedicated to making the organization tick. They work at our seed sales, attend our outings, and contribute their time to making RCAS a success.
From the directors we select the officers (co-presidents, secretary and treasurer). These are our experienced directors leading us to a productive future.
We hope you will be interested in us and consider joining our effort. Nominations will be accepted from the floor at the meeting or you can contact Marv Elliott, vtbirdhouses@yahoo.com, before the meeting to discuss your potential participation. We would love to hear from you.
See you at the meeting and, until then, good birding. The annual meeting includes a potluck supper (utensils, plates, and beverages provided). Following the meeting Roy Pilcher will present his program Penguins to Pachyderms.
