If you would like to support the bird trails by being a volunteer next year, please contact Jim
Kyle (helenjimkyle@hargray.com) or Jim Ennis (jimmmee@aol.com) directly. You can also
support the blue bird trail by ordering a house for your backyard. The sale of blue bird houses
pays for the materials for new and replacement houses on our trails. Call or email Jim Ennis
to get on the list for a house or sign up at our upcoming monthly meetings.
