Ospreyers:

In keeping with the recent thread on shade grown coffee, it is appropriate
to announce that the regular meeting of the Southern Maryland Audubon
Society will be held tommorrow, January 6 and will feature a lecture
entitled "Birds and Coffee: What's the Connection", presented by Russell
Greenberg of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.  The meeting will be
held at the Potomac Branch Library, Bryan's Road, Maryland (Charles County).
The lecture will begin at 7:30 P.M. , but refreshments (including, of
course, shade grown coffee) will be available at 7:00 P.M.

To reach the library turn on Ruth Swann Park Rd., about 1 mile south of the
light at Rt. 210/Rt. 227, library is on the left just inside the park.
