Fellow birders,
I work for a non profit org that serves low and very low income families. I have proposed we take the kids on a birding field trip as part of this effort. I will be reaching out for volunteer birding guides. If anyone is interested in introducing under served kids to the wonders of birds, please reply off-list.
Thank you!
Liz Jaggers
P.s. I apologize if I should have taken this to the forum, instead of the list.

Subject: New Birding Program - Making a Difference
Hello Ohio Birders,
Recently, a small group of us has been working to put together a new global birding initiative _www.pledgetofledge.org_
(http://www.pledgetofledge.org/)
The goal is to popularize the sport of birding worldwide. We believe the best way to do this is to ask passionate birders to spread the word to non-birders and take them out birding. We’re going to dedicate two weekends a year to encourage birders to take a neighbor, a friend, family member, local kid or anybody else out birding – ‘fledging’ a new birder! By getting more people to appreciate birds, we can encourage more people to support bird conservation at the local/regional and worldwide level.
The kick-off weekend is set for August 24-26th 2012. This event aims to unite people and organizations in birding and conservation. The success of this movement will depend on one thing, YOU. We can all take one person out birding. Pledge to Fledge will provide the social network to share your story, photos and videos with others, making an even bigger impact.
Please join us on August 24-26th 2012 to make a difference.
Dave Magpiong, Richard Crossley, Danielle and Michelle Mohilef, Keith Barnes
