“Company’s Coming-Be a Good Host,” Fall migration of birds presented by Steve Rushing of Rushing Outdoors- https://rushingoutdoors.net/ Steve Rushing, a birder and naturalist, will delight us with his amazing photography and educate us on fall migration. “I watch the natural outdoors of my youth disappearing. I record its remaining everyday beauty to make a case for personal conservation actions.” S.R.
We’re meeting at the community center because Steve’s presentation includes exceptional photographic images and audio. The audio/visual equipment available at the community center is much better than what we have at the cottage. This is an exceptional presentation that we hope all will enjoy.
Please bring to the meeting:
- plastic grocery bags for the Neighborhood Cooperative Ministry. They always need bags for packaging food for the clients.
- can pull tabs for Ronald McDonald House.
- glass jars to be used as flower vases for Meals on Wheels clients.

Cottage Garden Care
Beautiful gardens still grow weeds. We encourage members to stop by anytime it’s convenient for weeding in our garden areas. Bring a friend or family member with you to pick up debris and pull a few weeds! If you have any questions, please text Pam Cammarata (770-314-9541).
