Summer Barbecue

Saturday, July 27th, 2013 (5:30 - 10:00 p.m.)
at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine

See photos from past years' Summer Barbecues.

Bring the family and join us for this special occasion —
  * dining under the stars
  * book sale
  * evening bird walks around the marsh after dinner
  * a great program on "Wild Flowers of Orange County & the Santa Ana Mountains" by Bob Allen
Bob's programs are always lively and full of interesting tidbits of information. He is a skilled photographer and an excellent speaker who enjoys sharing his information with the public. (This will not be a program just showing pretty pictures of flowers. Bob will also talk about the insects and birds which are associated with those flowers.)
  * after the program, we'll have stargazing in the meadow & a bat walk
BBQ Flyer & Reservation form (print out a copy, fill it out & mail it, or deliver it to Audubon House.)
 
Our speaker for the Barbecue will be Jon Feenstra. (Information on Jon's program will be available soon.)
 
Our menu will include chicken, barbecued hot dogs, beans, salad, chips, fresh fruit, cake, lemonade, and coffee.
A vegetarian entree will be provided for those who specifically request it on their reservation form.
 
Advance reservations are essential. Parking space is limited; car pool whenever possible! (see form below). Those with e-mail will be sent their reservation confirmation and tickets; all others can pick them up when they check in at the barbecue on July 27th. (We expect this event to sell out long before the day of the barbecue!)

Tickets for the barbecue and program are $20.00 for adults, $7.00 for children under 5; tickets for the BBQ workers are $15.00. Your ticket will include your meal & beverage, evening marsh walk, and program. Activities, including the used books sale, will begin at 5:30 pm, dinner will be from 6:00 to 7:15 pm, followed by the program (as soon as it is dark). The first marsh walk will be from 6:30 to 7:30 to take in the sights and sounds as the marsh life settles in for the evening.
