TOPIC:SSAS 38th Annual Dinner

Each year, the South Shore Audubon Society annual dinner gives us the
opportunity to celebrate the birding and conservation experiences and events of the past year, and mingle with fellow members, old and new. Family, friends, and nonmembers are welcome too.

The evening will be highlighted by the presentation of the
Conservation, Merit, and Scholarship Awards. This year’s Conservation
Award is being presented to John Zarudsky for his work with South Shore wildlife and their habitat. The Merit Award is being presented to
Elliott Kutner for laying the groundwork and setting the standard for
the SSAS Sunday bird walks, which began in 1970.

Guests are invited to participate in the Super Raffle, Chinese Auction,
and 50/50 Drawing. There will also be a raffle for Birdathon participants.

Despite these challenging economic times, the dinner cost is the same as last year. We’re looking forward to the pleasure of your company on June 9th!
