Local Audubon Celebrates
55 Years, Works Toward Accessibility
By Susan O'Handley
Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society, formed as a non-profit organization in 1968, is celebrating its 55-year anniversary this fall and 52 years as an official Chapter of the National Audubon Society (having received its official charter in September of 1970). Each year, the organization celebrates by hosting a special Charter Dinner. This year’s event will take place on Friday, October 21 at the Quality Inn in Oneonta from 5:30-9 p.m.
The Charter Dinner includes a social hour, dinner buffet, and a special program, “The Essentials of Birding by Ear:
A Universal Method for Learning to Identify Birds Using Calls or Notes,” presented by John C. Robinson, ornithologist, author, and environmental consultant. The evening also includes the announcement of winners of the annual Charter Dinner Raffle, with prizes donated by DOAS board members, friends and local artisans. Tickets for the raffle are available online at www.doas.us and in-person now through the night of the event.
