Ideas for Holiday Giving

by Jean Avery, membership chair

When thinking ahead to holiday giving this year, have you considered gifts that also benefit birds and Vancouver Audubon? Here are a few ideas:

Gift Memberships are a way to introduce your friends and family to Vancouver Audubon. The cost is $30 per year — for an individual, couple, or family. Memberships are received at any time.

● Go to vancouveraudubon.org/membership.
● Click membership chair and send me an email so I’ll know your intent for gift
membership(s). Include your name and email and each friend’s name and email.
● Go back for payment. You may press the Donate Now button or send a check.
● Your friend will be entered into the VAS database, and will receive an automated
“welcome” letter by mid-month. VAS does not mention that it is a gift membership; that’s up to you to share.
● Please note: this membership is for Vancouver Audubon Society only. National Audubon has a separate membership.

Vancouver Audubon Society Bonfire Store is new! Check it out to purchase T-shirts and hoodies. You can choose size, color, and preferred logo: Vancouver Audubon, Young Birder, Cameraderie, or Bird Wa.

Audubon Marketplace is hosted by National Audubon. There are several choices of gifts, including calendars, bird seed, coffee, field guides, and more.

Thank you for thinking of birds this holiday season. And now that we’re looking ahead, we hope to see you at VAS’s festive December meeting. Stay tuned for more details.
