Birders, During its November meeting, the Board of the Colorado Field Ornithologists voted to award the coveted CFO Appreciation Plaque to the Maude Miller family, Dennis and Evelyn Everhart and the Woodlin Lions Club. CFO gives such plaques to those who have gone out of their way to welcome birders to their homes and private land to see birds. The Miller and Everhart families own the Last Chance Oasis and the old motel area where we have had so many pleasant hours. And the CFO was happy to donate $250 to the Woodlin Lions Club.
On Thursday, December 13, Charlie Lawrence and I stopped by Last Chance on our way out Route 36 to the Bonny Christmas Count. Gathered at the Charlie Harbert Memorial Park were Doug Vondy, representing the Lions Club, other club members and the Everharts. The Woodlin Lions Club built the inviting rest area decades ago and has dutifully maintained it ever since. The fine folks who accepted the Award and the check were pleased and proud to have this recognition and support from the CFO. Birders and community members became friends during the Last Chance Oasis Appreciation and Cleanup Day on November 3rd. Spring Planting Day at the Oasis in April will be another chance for all of us to get together. Photos and an article about the history, birds and people of Last Chance will appear in the April edition of *Colorado Birds*.
