The Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter (MRVAC) will hold its October meeting on Thursday the 28th at the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge Visitors' Center in Bloomington. Becky and Mark Lystig, longtime MRVAC members, went on a birding tour of the southern latitudes with Field Guides in 1996. Do you wonder what Antarctica is like, or what it is like to be on a small ship in turbulent seas?
They will try to give you some idea of the incomparable beauty of the Antarctic area and how wild the ride can be on a small ship in the Drake Passage. The ship was their home for 18 days. Theyll show slides and videos, but spare you the smells. Please, join us at 7:30 p.m. at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center in Bloomington. You are invited to come early (7pm) for the social period with coffee, cookies and committee exhibits. There is no admission. All are welcome. For directions call me (612-978-3993), e-mail me or see our newsletter at: http://home.comcast.net/~mrvac/Sept2004.doc (click on the blank box for directions) or you can visit our website: www.mrvac.org .
