More Active Members Needed
The Friends are looking for members with a little time to spare to become more actively involved with
our organization. We are looking for people who would like to help with publicity, program planning,
writing articles or contributing photos for The Marsh Wren or even planning a birding event
combined with a picnic or other social get-together. Perhaps you have an idea for a future speaker or
a walk through Dyke Marsh with a special emphasis. Perhaps you would like to lead a walk! All contributions
of ideas and time would be welcome. Call or e-mail any board
member. We would love to hear from you.
