May 2021 Forum

Please join us for a special APC Forum on May 18, 2021 at 6-7 pm. We wish to strike a celebratory note to welcome a new season of the wonders of nature with a toast, maybe with an Oriole Breeze!

The theme will revolve around what we can do to help mitigate the decline in our songbirds with presentations by renowned landscape designer Edwina Von Gal and noted local bird expert Bruce Horwith.

Songbirds, as well as our local musical performers are re-emerging after a particularly “long, cold, lonely winter”. It’s been a tough year for all, but especially for performing musicians.  We have invited several local musicians to, in a way, reintroduce themselves as part of the evening. Special thanks to the musicians who have generously agreed to participate.

So please join us! And share this invitation with your friends, all are welcome to register for this free event. 

When: May 18, 2021 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
