Dear Bird Talk, We really look forward to our copy of CSANews, and fully understand Ross Quigley’s point in the summer 2011 issue. A large part of the purpose of CSA is to put political pressure in the most appropriate area in order to benefit Canadian snowbirds. And you need to report on your successes […]

Dear Bird Talk, In your CSANews (Fall 2008) magazine, there was on the inside front cover a great article on “Heart Saving Tests” brought by Healthfair. I tried to phone using the number listed – no luck. I used the www.healthfair.com website, and we reached locations in Florida. Is there a Canadian number or location […]

Dear Bird Talk, Reading the winter issue of CSA News, I noted the various efforts on recruiting new members. After showing the issue to friends, most of them mentioned the many pictures of loving couples (front and back covers, inside pages, all the advertisements), arms around each other in affectionate poses. Wonderful if you are […]
