We're back! This year's schedule reflects the difficulties that many Audubon chapters are experiencing just staying alive these days. Fortunately the Muskegon County Nature Club (MCNC) is back for another season, thanks in no small part to the efforts of our new president, Beth Miller.
MCNC and the Owashtanong Islands Audubon Society (Grand Haven's chapter) will combine their resources for programs this season. Instead of scheduling fourteen (7 per club per season) for our gradually-dwindling audiences, we've combined resources and scheduled a total of seven. Until further notice, programs will be presented at the Covenant Life Church, 101 Columbus Ave. in Grand Haven. See the sidebar.
Our first MCNC meeting of this new season will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday evening, September 15, at the Roosevelt Park Community Building as in the past. One item of business will be to determine dates, times and locations of future meetings. We'll also catch up on what we've all been doing since last season. There will be light refreshments for this social time. We hope to see you there.
The MCNC will continue to conduct monthly field trips, the Christmas Bird Counts, the Big Day Count, and our annual Potluck Picnic meeting in May. See the sidebar.
