Thanks to all who came out for the Outdoor Lab Spring Open House! We welcomed Arlington Families, Neighbors and Friends.
We held our annual meeting and welcomed State Senator Barbara Favola who presented the Outdoor Lab with recognition by the General Assembly with SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 262 which read in part
- “That the General Assembly hereby commend Arlington Outdoor Lab for offering unique educational opportunities to young Virginians on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.”
The AOEA would like to thank the General Assembly, Senator Favola and Senator Howell and Delagates Hope, Levine, Lopez and Sullivan for their on-going support.
The Annual Meeting continued with the election of the proposed slate of Board Members.
The group then adjourned outside as we thanked retiring director Neil Heinekamp for his 25 years of service to the lab with the unveiling of a tree planted in his honor and the results of a fund raiser to create a young birders library to cntinue his love of birds for generations to come.
