LORDSHIP THIS WEEK: TUESDAY – MIGRATING RAPTORS! WEDNESDAY – LIA OPEN MEETING

An eventful week is ahead in Lordship with two events presented by the Lordship Improvement Association (LIA):

TUESDAY, NOV. 18: FREE PROGRAM ON MIGRATING RAPTORS

Rose Crisci, owner and founder of Blue Moon Raptors, will bring live birds to this educational session on migrating raptors.

The event will be held at Our Lady of Peace Church’s Gilmartin Hall (behind the church) at 651 Stratford Road in Stratford, starting at 6:30 pm. Bring your camera!

“The birds I’m bringing are all from this area, but they do migrate further away,” Rose notes. She adds that the mission at Blue Moon Raptors “is to rehabilitate ill, injured and orphaned birds of prey to return back to their natural habitat, where they will continue to enrich the environment.”

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 19: LIA COMMITTEES MEETING, OPEN TO PUBLIC

A number of important LIA projects will be discussed at the next quarterly Committees Meeting, Wednesday, November 19, from 7 to 8pm at St. Joseph’s of Stratford Church, 1300 Stratford Road, Stratford.

Open to the public, the Committees Meetings include updates from committee chairs and LIA member discussions on current activities and plans for LIA Lordship beautification, environmental and educational projects.

Topping the agenda is the final report and recommendations of the LIA’s independent Motorized Vehicles Task Force, which was formed earlier this year to examine the driving and parking of golf carts on the Lordship Bluffs lawn. The presentation will include slides and a detailed explanation of research leading to recommendations.

The LIA will also update attendees on progress of the multi-year Lordship Bluffs Restoration Project.

Additional reports will be presented by the LIA Treasurer, Burgess, and chairs of the Parks & Beautification, Environment and Education, and Communication committees.

Note: The all-volunteer, non-profit Lordship Improvement Association (LIA) is steward of the Lordship Bluffs and Russian Beach through a land trust, and also sponsors educational events, and created and maintains eight Lordship community gardens.
