Hi all, For those of you that will be joining us for the upcoming Warbler Symposium, September 8th and 9th at Lakeside, Ohio, I want to invite you to come hang out and meet your fellow birders on the night of Friday, September 7th, should you find yourself up there early. We'll get together around 7:30-8:00 pm at the Marblehead Galley, 113 W. Main Street (Route 163) in Marblehead, Ohio, located just past the Marathon station on the right, in downtown Marblehead. Bill Thompson III has agreed to entertain at 8:00 pm. Freighter's Lounge is located at the rear patio entrance of the Marblehead Galley, less than 4 minutes from Lakeside. In case of excellent weather, we will be located on the patio, and we have ordered excellent weather. Everybody is welcome to join us! We did something similar prior to the owl symposium last February, over 100 birders showed up, and we all had a hoot! Hope you can make it and meet our speakers and lots of birders from all over the place. Jim Jim McCormac Columbus, Ohio Like nature? Visit my blog: http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/ Like birds?

Everyone from the Kelley's trip is welcome, as well as those who are not able to make Kelley's but would like to join us for dinner. The cost of the meal will be on your own, but I guarantee the company (and food) will be good. Afterward BT3 can entertain the troops at the Lounge or the porch in case of good weather. Jim will be sending out an announcement soon. _____ Cheryl ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Kolo-Rose <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: 'Delores Cole' <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ; 'Cheryl B <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Harner' ; 'Kim <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Kaufman' ; [log in to unmask] Cc: 'Hugh Rose' <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 9:19 AM Subject: RE: [PHISH] RE: [PHISH] Vendor Update FYI update on the reservation Carol Lyle was trying to make with Lakeside. I did finally hear back from Mary Ann who said that it has been taken care of, she apologized that they were in meetings all weekend then she was out of town Mon and Tues. I have left a message on Carol's cell phone following up to make sure she is all set, and to call me if she had any questions. Note of interest, Mary Ann mentioned that while they were "booked up", the other group that will be there the same weekend has released some of their blocked rooms, so rooms have become available, in case you hear of anyone still trying to make a reservation. Also, I am not finding a current list of contents we want to put into the folders. sorry!! Please re-send as I must have somehow misplaced it.

Kim mentioned that the folder contents list was in the original meeting minutes or one of the meeting minutes if I understood correctly. KBC will donate a two book set, Birds of the Cleveland Region and The Field Guide of the Birds of the Cleveland Region (green book). For a silent auction to be successful you need time for people to wonder around and look which works well during an open bar/cocktail hour such as at the BSBO banquet. We do not have that amount of time considering the daytime event ends at 3:30 PM at that location. People will be rushing in from the morning walks to get their badges at 9:00 AM (83% of the attendees are on the walks and breaks in between speakers will probably be used for bathroom breaks. The only sizable time we have is the lunch break.

All-let's finalize the packet contents, and do we HAVE folders or do we need to purchase???? Kim, you said BSBO will be donating an item as well.? How 'bout one of the Autographed In Search of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker?

Thank you so VERY much for putting this information together, it looks TERRIFIC!!!! We'll need to change the "door prize" to either Silent Auction or Raffle Items once Cheryl has the vendors finalized and, yes, we still need to decide which would be better, I don't have a really strong opinion either way. If the prizes are really good, which they sound like they are shaping up to be, I would lean toward a silent auction. Cheryl mentioned that she is getting a print from BWD too. One urgent thing we need to do ASAP is to put together a list of all the contents we want to put into the packets, then determine what we already have and what we still need to get. If the visitors bureaus are going to have tables AT the event, I presume they will have literature to hand out, would we also need to stuff it in the packets? My opinion is that these packets can get a bit OVER-stuffed with so much literature that the attendees overlook the really important information like maps and agendas. but that is just my take on it. Regarding maps for Sunday walks, I think we should include all the maps in all the packets, it created a bit of confusion last time we only put the maps to places people were signed up for only because people wanted to explore some of the other areas on their own, plus it required a bit more coordination on the stuffing part (a challenge for those of us not totally "coordinated"! :-) ) I believe all the maps with directions are DONE, just need to be copied. Kim, can BSBO do the copying and get reimbursed for paper and the copier from funds we taking in??? I think it might still be cheaper than going to Kinko's or such, they really charge a fortune, but I know BSBO has to pay for copies above a certain quantity. We (Team Hu-dy) would be happy to help out with the copying and stuffing of course! I have an interview Tuesday afternoon, Hugh will be heading up to "The Cottage" (which is now our OWN MOBILE HOME!!!!!) sometime mid-week or so, he has to rip out old carpeting and put in new flooring throughout the place. it really is a neat place, we are really happy that we got it! Once we get it fixed up, we'll have to have a 'Cottage-warming'. I still do not know when I am going up, depends on a few things I have to take care of here. Wow, we currently have THREE homes because we have to live in the rental mobile home while we are fixing up our new place, so going "home" for us is awfully confusing these days!! :-) :-) I will be available today (Monday) but out of pocket on Tuesday, so if you need anything from me, let me know ASAP. Thanks again for ALL your help!!!!!!

On the back of the agenda we can insert the sponsors and door prize donors, I just need a complete list. If and when I get a symposium logo from Jen Brumfield I will insert it on the pages. I can update these documents as needed. Do we know what we are having for lunch?
