THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO GET SOMETHING DONE. DO IT YOURSELF, HIRE SOMEONE, OR FORBID YOUR KIDS TO DO IT. (Erma Bombeck)

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Clause from Poway, California will be presenting our program for the May meeting. The subject is "LOVEBIRDS". They are the owners of the S C BIRD RANCH in Poway. Steve - a former school teacher, a biologist in his college years and later training, taught biology and then became a teacher in media Technology. At present he is preparing a pilot project for the government to be presented in Walnut Creek. It has to do with re-educating and rehabilitating schizophrynis through teaching them all about birds, letting them handle them, care for them, etc. Sharon is a high school English teacher, and right now (besides a family and her own bird-duties) has taken over a group of Vietnamese children who are having a problem with the English language.

Many of us heard Steve present a lecture on LOVEBIRDS at the recent AFA convention in San Francisco, and were very impressed. I highly recommend this program to you regardless of what type of birds you are raising in your own aviaries. It always helps to learn!!!!

I have one or two announcements to get down - so let me get to them!

The raffle donors for the May meeting are - Mary & Dick Volpe, John & Janet Gillio, and Jim & Sue Mocko.

Be sure to mark the change of date of the meeting - May 18.
