Evanston Bird Club 
By Mrs. Betty B. MANNETTE 
THE PURPOSE OF the Evanston Bird Club is to promote education in wild- 
life, birdlore, and the conservation of our natural resources. Program 
meetings are held in the downstairs lecture room of Evanston Public 
Library at 7:45 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month from Septem- 
ber to April, inclusive (except December). These meetings are open to 
the public. 
We have a collection of bird slides, and our members use these when 
called upon to give talks at various club and school groups in the com- 
munity. We also maintain a booth at the Garden Club Fair each spring. 
Field trips are scheduled regularly every week during the spring mi- 
gration, and semi-monthly during the fall migration. Shore trips are held 
in August, and special trips at other times of the year. Two youth walks 
are held each year for children 8 to 14 years of age, one in the spring 
and one in the fall. Announcements of all trips are mailed to members. 
We also supply leaders for special groups such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 
Brownies, Campfire Girls, ete. 
Current officers of the Club are: President, Mrs. Reba Campbell; Vice- 
President, Mr. Harry Smith; Recording Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. 
Harvey Davids; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Albert Zimmermann; 
Auditor, Mr. Charles Zusi.

community by keeping alive an interest in our native wild birds and the 
conservation of our natural resources. All interested persons are invited 
to join the Club and to participate in its activities.

Editor’s Note: Two additional reports on’ affiliated clubs, from the Decatur 
and the Wheaton Audubon Societies, were received. Unfortunately, this 
issue is too crowded to permit inclusion of these articles, but they will 
appear next time. We welcome all reports of activities of the local Illinois 
bird clubs and are glad to publish accounts of their history and growth. 
Contributions should be sent to the attention of the Editor.
