IT’S PICNIC TIME!!  It’s impossible to fathom that another Audubon year has come and gone!  As always, we will end our year with our annual picnic at Eastham-Thomason Park on Thursday, May 17, 2012. The festivities will begin at 5:30 pm with a bird walk in the park, led by our own Rick Bello. The menu is our traditional hot dogs and burgers, courtesy of Chef Carol Reed.

The Chapter will provide the burgers and hot dogs as well as an ice chest with water and soft drinks. Board members have volunteered to bring condiments, cheese, veggies, buns and chili. Members are asked to fill in with chips, side dishes and desserts. Hope to see you there!!

Memorial Conservation Fund: Remember, donations can be made to our memorial conservation fund in memory or in honor of anyone. If you are inclined to make a donation, please contact Carol Reed, our treasurer, at 936.295.3958. We have funds for completion of Phase 1 of the Jack Prouty Memorial Bird Blind being built at Huntsville State Park, but more funds will be needed for completion of Phase 2 of the project. Please keep us in mind when making your contributions.

Earth Share News

Earth Day is April 22.  Huntsville Audubon is pleased to announce that H-E-B has selected EarthShare of Texas to be the beneficiary of its in-store coupon promotion for April, in recognition of Earth Day. This means that customers can tear off and add check-out coupons worth $1, $3, or $5 to their total bill to support environmental work in the Central Texas, Houston, Gulf Coast, Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio/West and Border, plus North Texas Central Markets.
 
H-E-B has supported many EarthShare of Texas organizations with corporate grants or in-kind contributions. The April tear-pad promotion enables H-E-B customers to support the environmental program work of more than three dozen EarthShare of Texas organizations. Huntsville Audubon will benefit, because the contributions will be divided among EarthShare of Texas organizations with program work in Texas.

Look for the EarthShare of Texas display and tear-off coupons at the check-out stands in more than 250 H-E-B and Central Market stores throughout Texas through April and into the first week in May.  And help support Earth Share of Texas and the Texas environment!
