MAY 2021 NEWSLETTER
We had our last chapter meeting of the season on April 21st. Thanks to all who attended the Zoom presentation by Dr. Michael Brothers. Afterwards, we had a short business meeting and are pleased to announce the officers for the next term:
President – Ken Spilios
Treasurer – Sue Albertson
Secretary - Jan Bailey
Directors – Rey Wells, Libby Cagle, Pat Bazany
Ex-Officio – Fred Hileman
Our last field trip of the season was to Cedar Key on April 13th. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we saw 67 species. We are hoping to again hold in-person chapter meetings at the church in Lecanto sometime in the fall, and you should receive an email when those plans are formalized. Please check our website for any events that may be scheduled in the meantime: www.CitrusCountyAudubon.org.
Our Kings Bay poster was installed the week of March 22nd, and we invite you to take a look if you find yourself in Crystal River. We hope to do a similar poster for the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. Also, the Board voted to donate $350 towards scholarships for the Marine Science Station’s Coastal Camp program this summer.
SUN (Solar United Neighbors) will host their last virtual meeting on May 13 at 12 noon. This solar energy co-op will be closed to membership on June 1st. To sign up for the meeting, join the co-op or get more info, go to their webpage at: www.SolarUnitedNeighbors.org/Citrus
Last, but not least, we would like to thank Fred Hileman for shepherding us through the last several years as President and also to Ken Spilios for taking over the reins as our new President.
