Dear Hartford Audubon Members:

On behalf of Hartford Audubon, you are cordially invited to our Annual Meeting and Banquet to be held at the Pond House Cafe, 1555 Asylum Ave, West Hartford, CT, on Tuesday, May 13th.

Before dinner we will hold our annual meeting including the treasurer’s report, awards and the election of officers and directors. Following dinner, Brian Hess, DEEP Wildlife Biologist will speak about the “Connecticut Wildlife Action Plan: State of the Birds Address”.

The event will begin with a guided bird walk through Elizabeth Park. This walk has been a successful addition to our annual meeting. There is no need to sign up for the walk. Gather by the Pond House Cafe entrance at 4:30 and the walk leader will take you on your way.

Your cost for the buffet dinner is $35.00 per person. The balance of the cost is subsidized by Hartford Audubon. There will be a cash bar, appetizers, salad, a buffet and dessert. The food has always been delicious, so please bring your appetite! Doors will open at 5:30.

There is a CUT OFF DATE for registering for this event.  If you plan to attend, you must register and pay for your ticket by Tuesday, May 6. Therefore, you are encouraged to make your reservations early. No tickets will be sold at the door.  The Pond House needs a firm number of attendees one week prior to the event.
