New Members Since August 20, 1965 
We are delighted to welcome so many new persons as members of The Illinois 
Audubon Society. The establishment of an I.A.S. chapter system, with people 
enjoying joint membership in both the state and their local group, has given 
more impetus to our growth. All new members from the Chicago area have 
received a program for our 1965-66 Audubon Wildlife Films and are invited 
to join us at the Chicago Natural History Museum. Those who became mem- 
bers after Nov. 1, 1965 will find their names listed in the March 1966 issue 
of THE AUDUBON BULLETIN. 
As always, one star * denotes a Contributing Member; two stars ** a 
Sustaining Member. All are from Illinois unless otherwise shown. We are 
especially happy to welcome our new Life Members: My. and Mrs. Richard Cone 
of Willow Springs, who reached their status by four equal annual payments. 
The Cones have contributed articles to THE AUDUBON BULLETIN and have 
been active members since 1945.

Dear Mr. Meyerhoff: 
“It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge your latest check for 
5500.00 and enclose a membership card showing that you are a Patron 
Member. To my knowledge, this is the only card held by any person 
which indicates that he is a Patron of The Illinois Audubon Society. 
) “Thank you for your generosity. We hope The Illinois Audubon 
Society, through its efforts to protect birds and other wildlife, will al- 
ways merit your interest and support.”
