JOHN HELMER RETIRES AS TREASURER 
After ten. years of outstanding service, John Helmer has retired as Treas- 
urer of The Illinois Audubon Society. He asked to be relieved of his duties 
at the September meeting of the Board of ‘Directors at Kickapoo State 
Park. John has not only kept complete and accurate records of all financial 
transactions, but he has managed our investment account wisely, enabling 
the Society to carry out all of its activities in spite of rising costs on all 
sides. John plans to leave Chicago soon and move to his retirement home 
in California, where his wife has already begun to set up housekeeping. 
He will continue to serve as an active Director of the Society until he 
moves. The Board expressed their gratitude for a job well done. 
Paul Schulze, erstwhile Membership Chairman, was elected Treasurer 
in John Helmer’s place. In taking the job, Paul has assumed a tremendous 
amount of work. Besides keeping track of expenses and the balance sheet, 
the Treasurer handles all dues payments and the I. A. S. investment fund.

after the first week in November will find their names in the March 1965:

from out of the state. As always, the * denotes a Contributing Member or 
Affiliated Club; ** denotes a Sustaining Member. We are happy to welcome
