Birding and Nature Club Outing (Apr 5, 2021)
​
Sent 2021-04-02: REMINDER: Monday Birding Trip to Estero Llano State Park in Weslaco -
Just a quick reminder of the Birding and Nature Club outing to Estero Llano SP in Weslaco on Monday. In the past we have been able to eat a lunch on the covered deck overlooking the wetlands. However, because of COVID-19, all the tables have been removed from the deck. My wife and I are planning on eating lunch at Nana’s, a Mexican Restaurant about a half mile north of the park on rte 1015. All are welcome to join us. We will depart for the park promptly at 8:30 am from in front of our office/library area. Questions? Call Ralph Peterson @ 607-590-0606. Ralph Peterson

The SCCE Birding and Nature Club has scheduled its annual Spring outing on Monday, April 5th to Estero Llano Grande state park in Weslaco. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the park will not offer any guided tours and no shuttle carts. All tours will be self guided. Masks will be required as well as social distancing. The cost for park entrance is $5.00 per person unless you have a park pass. The park features a variety of habitats for birds and wildlife to include a beautiful covered deck overlooking a very active pond scene. A variety of birds to be seen at the park include the rare Elegant Trogan, Pauraque, Crimson-collared Grosbeak, Audubon’s Oriole and the usual south Texas specialties. For those that desire to eat lunch at the park, it is a bring your own. The deck offers very relaxing spot to eat and chat.

Neighborhood Watch: Virtual Finger Lickin' Chicken Fund Raiser (Jan 1-31, 2021)
​
Sent 2021-01-24: NW: Alternative to Finger Lickin' Chicken Fund Raiser -
At Beth Parrish's suggestion, here is a reminder of your opportunity to help with our Neighborhood Watch program.
Currently we are having a Neighborhood Watch fundraiser. It is a virtual Finger Lickin’ Chicken dinner. Back in the old days, before COVID-19, our Firefighters would come out to SCCE at o’dark:30 and stoke the mesquite and coals for a scrupdelicious dinner. Volunteers provided the fixin’s. But – new times and COVID-19 Commandments prevail.
So, as an alternative for a donation - In the Library there is a supply of designated envelopes and a lock box in which to $how your $upport. You can please make your check payable to Neighborhood Watch. This opportunity will end 31 January and I hope you will take advantage to support us. Thanks.
