Most people do not realize that the Ohlone Audubon Society (OAS) and the National Audubon Society (NAS) are two separate organizations. Although we share a name and have the same mission of conserving our natural world, NAS looks at issues from a national level and leaves it to local chapters like OAS to address our local Bay Area issues.

When you join NAS as a new member, the local chapter receives little or no future annual funding from the national organization. As of January 1, 2003, Ohlone Audubon has created a new membership—an OHLONE AUDUBON-ONLY
MEMBERSHIP. The annual OAS membership is $20. This entitles you to eight issues of the newsletter, field trip participation, and lecture programs. In addition your membership helps our local conservation and educational efforts. Your $20 stays here in the Bay Area, where it will be used to save our local wetlands, streams, and other bird habitats and to support our environmental education programs, field trips, and conservation programs. Also, as an Ohlone-only member, you have the option of not having your name shared with other organizations—just indicate this on the application.

Members currently receiving the newsletter must join OAS by
the expiration date on the mailing label to continue their OAS
membership. For example, if your label currently reads “rnp 8/
03” you will have to join Ohlone before August 2003 or you will
be deleted from our mailings and as an Ohlone member. Also
note, there is no longer a $10 newsletter only subscription.
(Please see the link below for an application)

 

You have the option of becoming both an OAS member and a
NAS member.
For an additional minimum of $20 you can become a member
of NAS, which includes the Audubon magazine and membership
in a national organization. The membership chair will forward
that additional amount onto NAS or you can mail it separately.
Remember that if you also want to support NAS and its
efforts at a national level, you can always join both organizations.
If you want your Audubon membership dollars to help solve
our local Bay Area problems, please use the membership application
link below and become an OAS Member.

 

We thank you for your support. —Pat Gordon, Membership Chair
