Hello:
Well I thought and thought about where to go next year and here's what I =
came up with. I hope you find the these MOU trips to your liking and =
please send me a email telling me what trip you want to attend.=20
Remember all MOU trips are at no cost to you except your food and gas =
for one day trips and you pay for your own lodging and ect.. for weekend =
trips.=20
I always keep everyone inform about whose going, what to bring, where to =
meet, times, where to stay and anything else that I feel you should know =
about the trip. At all MOU bird trips I hand out MOU checklists of =
Minnesota birds to everyone and MOU brochures to new birders to our =
organization. We try to car pool and share in the cost of gas and we are =
pretty much all in contact with each other with FRS or GRS radios for =
those long caravans.
