Her problem was that she felt like the extralimital bird in a large flock of birders whose median age was closer to retirement than high school graduation. Having The Brooklyn Bird Club formed, with mixed success, a Yahoo chat group aimed at President: Rob Bate generating a community of young birders, Hope then boldly presented the idea of a young birders club to the governing The Clapper Rail board of NYSOA Editorial: Monica Berger, Bobbi Manian, Carena Pooth heard the call and took up the challenge.

Many YBC members go on to pursue research and birding opportunities in Alaska, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Canada and elsewhere, putting them in the company of scientists doing important field research. Since 2009, the YBC has fielded their team, “The Razorbills,” to compete in the annual World Series of Birding in Cape May and environs during mid-May, and they use the money they raise to help fund a scholarship program to finance trips and participation in YBC events. In 2011, the BBC dedicated its Birdathon to the YBC to help build this important NYSOA, formed in 1946, was originally called the scholarship fund. And, adult sponsors also support the “Federation of New York State Bird Clubs.” Each YBC, which has dispersed $14,000 since 2012 to month a sponsoring club hosts an outing in their area support the club activities. for the YBC and makes the special habitats and special features in their areas accessible to the young birders. These kids have experienced special behind-the-scenes looks at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology (the Lab-of-“O”), the skins collection at the Museum of Natural History, and they have had a chance to do bird banding during migration. Now they have one of Tom Stephenson’s Warbler Workshops in their toolkit and the experience of night flight seen from the Empire State Building. These very special birding experiences and the opportunity to socialize with a peer group of like- minded young birders has led a number of college- bound members who have “aged out” of the club to pursue studies in Ornithology and Conservation at various universities.

    REGION I0 - MARINE Seymour Schiff 603 Mead Terrace, South Hempstead NY 11550 syschiff @ optonline.net Alvin Wollin 4 Meadow Lane, Rockville Centre NY 11 570 After a series of unusually warm winters and a warm early December, we went back to the reality of subnormal cold and above normal snow. For the three months, temperatures were, respectively, 1.3"F, 4.6" and 4.5" below normal, with a season low 8" on 16 February. This season's average temperature was 10" below last year. Precipitation was very slightly above normal for December, half of normal for January, fifty percent above normal in February, with half of it in the form of snow. On 7 February, 5" fell. And an additional 19" fell on the 16-17th, for the fourth snowiest month on record. The warm early weather induced an unusual number of birds to stay far into the season and kept some for the entire winter. On the other hand, there were absolutely no northern finches, except for a very few isolated Pine Siskins. On 14 December, a Pacific Loon in basic plumage was found by Tom Burke, Gail Benson and Bob Shriber at Camp Hero on the Montauk CBC. It was subsequently seen there and at the point by others on 24,27 and 28 December. On 28 December, Guy Tudor saw a Greater Shearwater sail in toward Montauk Point before returning out to sea. This is a very late record. A Least Bittern, apparently hit by a car "somewhere in East Hampton" on 25 February, was turned over to a local rehabilitator.

    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.
