THE 1965 I. A. S. ANNUAL MEETING - DAVENPORT, IOWA 
For the first time in its history, The Illinois Audubon Society will hold its 
Annual Meeting jointly with another organization - The Iowa Ornithologists! Union, 
Our Director and Chairman of the Arrangements Committee, Peter C, Petersen, Jr., 
tells us that these will be the highlights of the week-end of May 14-16: 
Our hosts at The Davenport Public Museum plan an informal reception there begin- 
ning at 7:30 p.m,, on Friday, the 14th. The registration desk will be open, and we 
can See an art exhibit by local and national bird artists, including Roger Tory 
Peterson, The Saturday field trips will begin at 5:30 a.m. and will cover the 
Iilinois side of the Mississippi, including state parks, forest preserves, Cordova 
Quarry, Meredosia Slough and other noted birding areas, After a greeting by 
Don Herold, Director of the Museum, and a response by the two presidents, there 
will be slide talks by members of both societies, In the afternoon there will be 
movies of birds in the Davenport area, a panel discussion on pesticides, and busi- 
ness meetings of the two groups, After the banquet, Dr. Alfred Bailey will present 
his movie on Birds of the Galapagos, On Sunday there will be field trips to 
various state parks and groves on the Iowa side of the river, ending with a 
farewell luncheon, 
Since 165 persons attended our 1964 Annual Meeting last May in Joliet, and over 
200 dinners were served at the Camp-Out in Kickapoo State Park last fall, we feel 
that attendance at the 1965 meeting should break all records, Harlan walle 7 our 
Vice-President for Extension, has asked I,A.S, Affiliates to send delegations 
to the event, which should help to increase the turn-out, 
The complete program and reservation form will be mailed to all members in April. 
Since seating may be limited, members are urged to set aside the week-end of 
May 14-16 now and to respond to the invitatim as quickly as possible, 
NOMINATING COMMITTEE APPOINTED 
The business sessim of the Annual Meeting on May 15 will include the election of 
ten Directors of the I.A.S, whose terms will expire and the filling of three vacan- 
cies, If you know any capable, dedicated, enthusiastic member who is willing to 
help in conducting the affairs of the Society, please send his name to Frank McVey, 
Chairman, Nominating Committee, 5845 N, Kingsdale Ave,, Chicago, phone KT5-51,31,
