Chips, Chirps, Cheer and CHOCOLATE - Holiday Social and Giving Back

Chips, Chirps and Cheer returns, with a new element. Chocolate!!! For our holiday meeting we will enjoy chips-n-dips, birder chat (chirps) and some holiday cheer. This season we will be adding an entire table dedicated to chocolate - pies, brownies, wrapped chocolates, cakes, or any treat that includes chocolate. To make the spirit of the season even brighter for our local wildlife we invite everyone to participate in our annual supply drive for the Florida Wildlife Hospital (FWH).

Doors will open at 6:30pm. We are kindly requesting everyone bring a dip to share or a chocolate treat. After a bit of social time, the Board will share a few chapter updates and a brief overview of some birding resources.

The holiday social will include raffles, stocking stuffers (a portion of the sales will go to Florida Wildlife Hospital), and birding stories. Florida Wildlife Hospital will share updates about their patient care.

Ho, ho, happy Nature Holiday Cheer!!
