2022 Charter Dinner

We are back in person this year!

Mark Your Calendars for the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society’s Annual Charter Dinner on Friday October 21, 2022 at the Quality Inn (formerly the Holiday Inn) on State Highway 23 in Oneonta. The evening begins at 5:30 with a social hour, followed by The Hills Buffet at 6:15 (menu below), and the program at 7:30. A cash bar will be available. Masks and Covid-19 vaccinations are not required but are strongly recommended. In order to provide patrons with more space, each table will be limited to 6 seats.

Charter Dinner Raffle

As in the past, there will be door prizes and fine raffle items. Items can be viewed at the link below, and tickets for the Charter Raffle can be purchased online at https://doas.us/2022-charter-dinner-raffle. These will also be available at our Hawkwatch Open House at the DOAS Sanctuary on Franklin Mountain on October 8. Raffle winners do not need to be present at the dinner.

Keynote Speaker

Our featured speaker will be John C. Robinson who will share his expertise on “The Essentials of Birding by Ear: A Universal Method for Learning to Identify Birds Using Calls or Notes”. This will be a remote speaker, so others who would like to attend will be able to join us on Zoom starting at 7:15 for a 7:30 presentation start time. Details about the program can be found at https://doas.us/the-essentials-of-birding-by-ear/.
