Space Coast Wildlife and Birding FestivalBy Tom Atkinson, President
I would like to thank Susan Bird and Dee Fairbanks for their participation in maintaining the booth. But particular thanks have to go to Betty Eichhorn for her contribution of a passel of used books. The used books were our largest single source of revenue. ($61 on Thursday, $89 on Friday, and $68 on Saturday for a total of $218 gross). All of the books were about nature and the environment but the most popular of all were the bird identification books. They sold out in the first half hour of the first day. I’ll have to review my pricing structure next time! |
I
hope everyone got to go on the field trips and informative
seminars of their choice at the Festival. It was great seeing
so many birding enthusiasts in one place. At one time or
another they all stopped by the IRAS both to exchange
experiences and renew old acquaintances. Our booth was
open every day of the festival except Sunday. The purpose
of having an IRAS booth at the festival is to show our support
for the festival and to encourage new Audubon memberships.
