Where Have All Our Birds Gone? And How Can We Bring Them Back?*
Since 1966 bird populations have plummeted across the US and by 2030 we may have lost 50% of our bird population. Stuart Earley from the Tahoma Bird Alliance will be here to talk about why this has happened; what the causes have been for this unprecedented drop in bird populations; and what all of us can do to help birds and bring back our bird populations so that we see more beautiful birds and hear more birdsong. Stuart will also talk broadly about the work of the Tahoma Bird Alliance and why there are now many bird alliances across the US.  Wednesday, February 19, 2:00 pm, Bristol View 1st Floor Bowditch Room.  You must register with Jana Wennstrom to attend this presentation.  253-756-6219 or jwennstrom@franketobeyjones.com

Join vocalist Susan Tuzzolino and guitarist EJ Crocker as they perform songs from the Abbey Lincoln songbook.  Wednesday, February 19, 4:00 pm, MJ Wicks Wellness CenterYou must register with Jana Wennstrom to attend this presentation.  253-756-6219 or jwennstrom@franketobeyjones.com
