Are there any MOU members that would want to man an informational booth at this event on behalf of the MOU? Please respond to me directly if you are.

Bell Museum of Natural History University of Minnesota 10 Church Street SE Minneapolis, MN 55455-0104 MOU.mn.org -----Original Message----- From: Steve Estebo [mailto:[email protected]]=20 Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 11:31 AM Subject: Invitation to Minnesota Zoo's IMBD Event Mark, The Minnesota Zoo is once again celebrating International Migratory Bird Day as a public event at the Zoo. This year the event will be held on Saturday, May 7th. We would like to invite MOU to set up a booth at this event to feature MOU. It would be a good opportunity to interpret birding to the public and let people know more about what MOU does. Booths this year are going to be located at the entrance of the Tropics Trail, so the location should be much more inviting to public interaction from last year. As a minimum, we are asking for booths to be open from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. We are only having it as a one day event this year, as we will be out at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on Sunday for their event. I contacted the MOU President last year with an invitation, but never heard back from him, which surprised me. I also mentioned it to Steve Weston, but no follow through occurred from him either. Let me know if you can participate this year, as we would love to have MOU's involvement. We have committments so far from the MN DNR non-game's Trumpeter Swan Restoration Project, Loon Watch and the Wildlife Rehab Center. We are still waiting to hear from others and have invited new organizations this year as well. Last year we had participation from the Bell Museum, Hawk Ridge and the Indoor Cats Program and hope to have them back again this year. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. I am rarely at my phone, but if you leave a message I will get back to you.
