OAS Annual Meeting with Guest Speaker: Melanie Furr

  • First Presbyterian Church 520 East Washington Ave Savannah, Georgia (map)

Please join us for our Annual Meeting where the Nominating Committee will present the slate for the elections of officers at this time. A brief update on the status of Ogeechee Audubon will be presented.

In addition, a proposal for an amendment to Article I, Section 1 (Membership) of the ByLaws will be proposed. The addition to this section is as follows: Ogeechee Audubon Society celebrates the diversity of our membership, much like we celebrate the wonderful and rich variety of birds, each having a unique shape, size and color. All are welcome at Ogeechee Audubon Society regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. Ogeechee Audubon Society commits to fostering and building a culture of welcome and inclusion, where all are bound together by a mutual love of birds, nature and each other.

The amendment must be voted on and be accepted by a majority of members in good standing present at the meeting.

Our Guest Speaker: Our Guest Speaker: Melanie Furr, Director of Education for Georgia Audubon and caregiver for the world’s only ambassador hummingbird, Sibley, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.  Sibley was a victim of a window collision that rendered him flightless.  Sibley was nursed back to health by Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort (AWARE) and Melanie Furr.   Melanie will join us virtually to share unique insights into the lives of these tiny, but miraculous birds.
