THE CAS ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS BANQUET

SAVE THE DATE – SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007

The Chicago Audubon Society will hold its biennial Environmental Awards Banquet to honor those who have made contributions to conservation and birding in the Chicagoland area. We hope our members and others join us at the Banquet to celebrate those who have done so much to protect birds and the environment. This year the Banquet will be on Saturday, April 14, beginning at 5:30 p.m. As last year, it will be held at the Silver Stallion Restaurant, 1275 Lee Street/Mannheim Street in Des Plaines (between Algonquin and Oakton - CLICK HERE TO SEE MAP). Our featured speaker this year is Douglas Stotz, distinguished Ornithologist of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Doug will speak about “Changes in our Avifauna Across Time,” discussing how bird species have fluctuated in abundance and distribution over the years in the Chicago area. Doug will also cover some of the reasons for this fluctuation, and some of the hazards bird populations have faced over the years, now and in the future. Dinner choices are chicken, salmon, or vegetarian. The cost is $30 per person. Sign up by sending your check to Alan Anderson, 1633 Howard Ave., Des Plaines, Illinois 60018 (make the check payable to the Chicago Audubon Society). Alan can also be reached by e-mail at casresearch@comcast.net. Let him know how many are coming and which food choices you prefer. Please mail your check by Saturday, April 7.
