He also regrets being unable to present to you this evening\, but has offered a bonus session for the club\, to be scheduled when he has recovered. \nIn the meantime OSFN Club Member Dan Ostler has kindly agreed\, on very short notice\, to be our speaker this evening. You may remember that Dan filled in so admirably with a climate change talk two years ago. His talk was of the highest quality and members requested an encore! He has also received recognition as a favourite lecturer on International Cruise Ships. \nThe topic tonight will spring from this tagline – \n“Prompted by the recent volcanic eruption on White Island in New Zealand” \n\n***NEW VENUE***\nWe have been gradually outgrowing the facility at the Owen Sound Library and invite you to join us on December 12\, 2019 in the Bay Room at the BAYSHORE COMMUNITY CENTRE\, 1900 3rd Ave E\, Owen Sound\, ON N4K 2M6. \nThe Hospitality Team is going to take a holiday and will not be serving coffee or tea. You are welcome to bring your own GO mug with coffee or tea. This month\, there will be none provided by the Club. \nWe call it a garden. They can call it home. \nPeter Middleton’s talk focuses on the role gardens play as habitat for birds\, in a time when bird populations face ever mounting challenges to their survival. Essential elements of habitat will be considered and how they can be achieved through planning. “The elements will be illustrated using our garden as a model. The place of birds in the planet’s biological diversity is a constant sub-theme.” \nPlease Note:\nPeter is retiring from the lecture/leader circuit. Make sure you attend\, and bring your friends\, for this presentation. Peter’s presentation style and extensive knowledge will be missed. Let him know that by your presence; consider taking the time at this busy time of year to give him the gift of your presence.
