Program Night Membership Campaign
Win a T-Shirt or Hat with our New EAS Logo. Participate in our Program Night Membership Campaign.
Eastside Audubon Society (EAS) volunteers perform exceptional and beneficial volunteer work on the Eastside (see below). This is great news, but as with all good things, we want to do more – and more good work means more funding and more people.
The EAS Board of Directors is launching a Membership Campaign to introduce ourselves and our organization to other Eastside people who are interested in getting outdoors to see birds and nature – people who perhaps want to invest some time in saving the environment or educating our kids about the environment.
Our goal is to increase our local
chapter membership to 1200 this year.
That’s 35 new people each month –
and we need YOU to help us grow!
Our Program Night Campaign is the most effective place for you to help.
And even better - you can have fun and
win prizes in the process!
Win yourself a special Button!
And then win yourself a new T-shirt or Hat with our new EAS logo
Two ways to help us grow our membership:
- Bring a guest (or two or three) to Program Night -
and you get your Button!
- Register today to help welcome people at Program Night. Contact Sunny Walter at 425-271-1346 or sunny@sunnywalter.com.
Be at the church at 6:30 in time for for the Activity Fair. When a guest arrives, the greeter will introduce you. Then you can register them at the Membership table and make them feel welcome and special by introducing them to other people, showing them our Activity Fair tables with lots of fun and rewarding EAS activities, and answering any questions they might have.
Voila! Get your Button!When two people join whom you have invited or helped welcome to EAS, you win a T-shirt or Hat! It’s just that easy – and fun!
Go to the Program Night page and see what speaker and topic we are featuring this month. Then invite someone who is interested in this month's topic to join you for the 6:30 Activity Fair and Program Night.
Don't forget to register with Sunny now to help welcome these guests.
