The Club s current bank balance is $4, In accordance with the by-laws, the books were audited by another member, Chryse Seeman, and everything was in perfect order. Sherry Fisher We want to extend a special thank you to Mike Mainguth of the Sonora 4-H, Exotic Bird Group. He put on a great presentation and brought along one of his 4-H ers, Wakiza Councilman and his co-leader Deb Wilson. Mike is a truly dedicated bird person, as well as a great contributor to the young people of his community. He says It is my hope that others will step up and volunteer with the 4-H youth in their communities in any way they can to promote aviculture. To contact Mike for more info on setting up an exotic bird group of 4-H, to mainguth@miode.com, or call Janna for his number. We are sending complimentary copies of our newsletter to his group for their enjoyment. Terese Davis Things to Look Forward To On September 6th we will, again, be buying a group table at the Sonora Bird Mart. The cost is divided equally among those who participate. It is an excellent opportunity to offer our birds to the public as well as visit with other bird folk and support the efforts of the bird club in Sonora. We did this last year with great success! Remember, too, that our October Bird Show is supported by our advertised-to-the public Bird Seller s Mart at the show and members get first choice of tables. We also ask for donations of good stuff, including birds, for the show s Raffle table and Auction. Donations are also encouraged, frankly solicited, for our August Picnic and Auction so plan ahead to let these opportunities work for you. Janna Place
