Thank You, Members 
THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS of the Illinois Audubon Society send a sincere 
“Thank you!” to all members and friends who responded so generously 
to the appeal for contributions to help defray the expenses of “‘Audubon 
Screen Tours” at the Chicago Natural History Museum. A box was 
provided in the theater lobby at two of the lectures, and the amount 
collected so far assures at least four talks next year. 
Our arrangement with the Museum does not permit us to charge ad- 
missions at the lectures, as most ornithological societies do; hence the 
costs must be paid from membership funds or through donations. Mem- 
bers who have not contributed so far may do so at the lectures on Sunday, 
March 16, or Wednesday evening, April 28. The officers feel that this 
method will be more acceptable than the alternative of increasing’ annual 
dues of the Society.
