Pancake
Breakfast |
Sat.,
October 29th from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. |
| |
| Those of
you who came to our Pancake Breakfast last year at the San Joaquin
Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine will recall what fun it was. We
had a great menu of hot cakes and sausages right off the griddle,
orange juice, fresh fruit, plenty of hot coffee, and milk for
the kids. After breakfast, most people went to investigate the
bird life around the ponds, talked to friends, visited Audubon
House, and browsed through the interesting collection of used
books for sale. |

This year, we
have scheduled Bird Walks for you during the morning, before
and after breakfast. Be sure to bring your binoculars! We'll
also have several Scope Stations where you can get close up
views of the birds out on the ponds.
We've been collecting books for the past 3 months and have
a great assortment of used nature books just waiting for you
to browse through at our Book Sale Tables. Get there early
while the best book bargains are still available!
Stop by the Education table; they're planning a great exhibit
showing some of the neat art projects our kids made at camp
this summer; learn about opportunities for adult volunteers
to help share a love of nature with school children; find
out about our new education program which combines art with
science here at the marsh, plus a host of other exciting education
activities to investigate.
Be sure to stop by the Chapter Ambassadors' Table inside the
Duck Club. We'll have lots of information there about our
chapter and the many ways you can get involved. This also
one of the places to get your raffle card stamped so that
you'll be able to enter it in the drawing for a special prize.
Near the check-in table by Audubon House, Wild Birds Unlimited
will have a table with bird seed, feeders, and other bird
feeding items. They welcome questions about how or what to
feed your birds, where to place your bird bath, what plants
attract birds, what to do if the birds are not coming to your
feeders, etc.
On the back
porch of the Duck Club (building), Optics4Birding will be
displaying some of their optics equipment for birders. This
is a good opportunity for you to check out the latest in binoculars
or scopes, and ask questions.
Don't forget to stop by Audubon House to see our taxidermy
birds on display, browse through our gift shop & book
store, and check out our newly reorganized reference library!
Volunteers inside Audubon House will answer your questions
about Sea and Sage, birds, conservation issues, education,
etc. |

| An event
of this nature doesn't run itself; we have to have a team of
volunteers to help us. If you would like to help us with this
event, we would really appreciate it. Helping with an event
of this nature is lots of fun and we hope you will join us and
be a part of the volunteers group. This is a great way to make
new friends while also helping our chapter. A signup
sheet for volunteers will be at Audubon House, at our Sept.
and Oct. general meetings, and here on our chapter webpage.
For more information on the Pancake Breakfast, or to volunteer,
contact Nancy Kenyon, 949-786-3160,

We
do hope you will join us on Saturday, Oct. 29th
and are looking forward to seeing you! |
