[nfbmi-talk] Vernal Equinox Birding Weekend Agenda

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

Donna asked me to post the agenda for the Vernal Equinox Birding Weekend 
taking place this weekend at Wildwood Ranch in Howell, Michigan. You will 
find the agenda attached to this message as well as pasted below my 
signature.

It looks to be a great weekend, and those of you who are not planning to 
attend this event will surely be missing out on some great fun! This event 
is truly for everyone regardless if you are a nature lover, or if you just 
simply want to keep me company inside by the warm fireplace. Space is still 
available for anyone who would like to join us.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
