Well, where did the summer go? Here it is, September already; time for Ottawa Duck Club members to get together to review the summer and make plans for the fall and winter. We still need to re-shingle and repair the sheds, build some new floating nest boxes, and start cleaning our wood duck boxes. We have two meetings planned.
Last call for membership renewals. We’ve had a pretty good response so far - almost 40 - but the more the merrier. There are still many of you who haven’t renewed. If there’s no renewal form with this newsletter, you’re in the clear. If there is one, please fill it out, write that cheque and re-up to stay on our mailing list for future newsletters. In fact, why not come to the annual meeting on March 22 to rejoin and get reacquainted with other members. Your club needs you. It needs your money too.
Well, another year is almost over. Time to look ahead to 2007.
Time to make resolutions. Time to resolve to renew your membership in the Ottawa Duck Club.
Another year is drawing to a close - the Ottawa Duck Club’s 40th - and soon it will be time to renew your membership in the club. Next month we will be sending renewal forms and return address labels. Please watch for them and make a point of renewing promptly. Don’t forget, you will receive a tax receipt from the club for your membership fees and any donations you make.
Ottawa Citizen Conference Room
Rod Brook has arranged for Jack Hughes of Environment Canada to come to our annual meeting on March 27 to speak about Canada goose problems in urban areas (what problems?). Jack should be able to tell us what the future holds for Ottawa’s geese and advise us what we should or should not do so we don’t add to the problem.
Us, that’s who. That’s right, the Ottawa Duck Club turns middle-aged this year. In fact, the very first meeting of the club took place near the end of January 1966 and the first general meeting was held on March 10, 1966. Why not mark the anniversary by coming out to a meeting or outing?
