An invitation from the Shutterbugs in Leominster:
The Shutterbugs are having a guest speaker that I thought the bird club members might be interested in. Bruce DeGraaf, who is the author of “The Making of Avian Awakening” will be presenting a program on Tues, April 24, 2012 at 7:00 pm. It will be held at the Veteran’s Center, 100 West Street, Leominster, MA. The will be a $5 entrance fee as the club is paying Bruce for the presentation. Refreshments will be served.
Bruce is a fantastic photographer and specialized in birds of New England. I’m sure you can find him on the internet should you like to check him out. The presentation is being offered open to the public and I thought it might be something the bird club would find interesting
Hope to see you there.
