MD Osprey, MD Birds, and BRCF-L:
Due to some web technical difficulties, it's been
a while since we have posted any updates to the
MD/DC Records Committee web pages. A new batch of
PDF web products is now available. Here are the highlights and a summary:
1. Members. Since our last posting three members
have rotated off the committee and we thank them
very much for their service; they are: Tyler
Bell, Ellen Lawler, and Marcia Watson. The three
new members that were elected to the committee
for three-year terms are: Gwen Brewer (Charles
County), Mikey Lutmerding (Prince George's and
Allegany Counties), and Dave Ziolkowski (Harford County).
