June 3 –

Join us for an evening, socially distanced bird walk at Fenner for our only in-person meeting this year. Masks will not be required, but you are welcome to wear one if you prefer to. We will start the walk with a few brief announcements and then a walk around Fenner. The walk will be about an hour and a half. Please bring appropriate layers and prepare for bugs. We will also vote during this meeting to approve three board members for an additional three year term. Current Board Members, Mike Moquin, Julia Spalding and Kristy Taylor are up for renewal this year. Board members can serve two consecutive 3 year terms and must take a break following their second term.

Watch for updates in the CAAS Call Note.

Fall Meeting Format Change

Meetings will be held online via Zoom this fall.
The first two months will be a bit of a trial, and if we have enough interest and people attending, we will continue after the first few months, but if they are poorly attended we will likely not hold any additional virtual meetings until we can meet in person.

CAAS Education Grants
