Mark your calendars for the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society’s 56th Annual Charter Dinner on Friday, October 18, 2024, at the Quality Inn on State Highway 23 in Oneonta. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour, followed by a buffet dinner at 6:15 p.m. and the program at 7:30 p.m. A cash bar will be available.
Our keynote speaker will be the author Scott Harris, presenting remotely on his book RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors. Harris spent 17 months chasing 53 Raptors across 34 states—his version of a Raptor Big Year.
As in the past, a “flock” of bird-themed Charter raffle items and door prizes will be presented. Tickets for the Charter raffle (a bucket raffle) will also be available online and at the Open House at the DOAS Sanctuary on October 5. Charter raffle winners do not need to be present at the dinner. Learn more about our Charter raffle here: https://doas.us/2024-dinner-raffle/ .
