A tribute to Stephanie Lovell – Longtime Member of HAS

July 1, 2019 / Mona Cavallero

This June, Hartford Audubon lost a longtime beloved member, Stephanie Lovell. She was a member of HAS since 1995, President of the Society 2003-2005, Member of the Year in 2007, and led 54 trips for HAS. She is remembered for being ardent in her birding and brooking no foolishness when on the prowl. She generously shared her favorite birding haunts, participated on the HAS Facebook page, and continued to lead trips to Delmarva even after moving to Maryland to be closer to her daughter. She also was excellent at Trivial Pursuit and was a scotch connoisseur. She is missed but, as one member expressed it, probably still birding!

Hartford Audubon President,
Sarah Faulkner

Hartford Audubon Annual Banquet – May 14, 2019

May 26, 2019 / Mona Cavallero

Dear members of Hartford Audubon,

It was my pleasure to serve as your president for the past two years. I have gotten to know many of you and hope to stay in close contact.

Thank you for your kind words and compliments. You have been very supportive. The banquet tonight was a success with 81 members registered.

After an hour of socializing and drinks, we had a delicious dinner, productive meeting and the group enjoyed a game of CT Bird Bingo.

I wish Sarah Faulkner and the new board of directors success and fun times.

Sincerely,

Maggie Peretto

Hartford Audubon president
