The Village Birders is disbanding

Founded in 2001, the club has enjoyed twenty-five years of birding trips, meetings with outstanding speakers and programs, and a host of other activities encouraging participation in our shared hobby and enticing others to join us in enjoying the wonderful world of birding.

 

But all things must come to an end. The Villages has become a very different place that it was twenty-five years ago. As The Villages has expanded and grown, and as our membership has aged, participation in our sometimes-far-flung birding trips has diminished, and attendance at our monthly meetings has dwindled. When it came time to elect new leadership this spring, no volunteers stepped forward. Without a new slate of officers, it was impossible to continue to operate as a Villages Social Club. We were forced to face the inevitable. At the March 21 monthly meeting we announced the dissolution of the club.
