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.

Dear Bird Talk, It was a bright sunny day on Monday, March 15, 2010 when the first Ontario CSA picnic was held at Fort DeSoto Park, Site 5 in Tierra Verde, Florida.

Committee chair, I have been a snowbird member since its inception and believe it to be a great organization for the snowbird population. I would however like to make a suggestion that I’m sure has been made before, that is to charge a nominal fee to non members to access the annual meeting and entertainment […]

Dear Bird Talk, Hello, I’m a widower and the kids are all gone and I’m tired of winter. I’m tempted to just load the dog in the truck and go, but then i think about buying a trailer here or…and I’m not sure where to head for, maybe the Texas coast or Arizona. Where do […]

Dear Mr. Brissenden, I have been a member for several years because I believe in the goals and have benefited, in many ways, from my CSA membership. I continue to promote the CSA but often with limited success. Some people are just not joiners. There is a certain animosity between the West and East. Looking […]
