Greetings to all GSBA members! As you all know we will have our annual GSBA Bird Show on November 24th 2007 at Our Lady of Fatima in Elizabeth N.J. beginning at 9:00A.M. For those of you who will be attending the show for the first time that is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. All of the members who are involve in putting this show together are excited because we are going to try to make this the best show yet! As you all know that putting together a quality show with reputable judges requires money so it is just about that time for the club to get serious about fund raising. One of the fundraisers that we are going to be doing is a dinner to help raise money so that we ensure a successful bird show. The following information is to let you know about this dinner that we will have. Remember, the more members that attend the dinner the more money we will raise so please contribute by attending. Our last dinner two years ago was a huge success and everyone who went will contest that they had a wonderful time. Please invite anyone you would like to bring: family members, friends, and possible new members.

Garden State Bird Club originated in Hillside, NJ in the summer of 2004 by seven individual bird breeders. These breeders of mostly canaries and finch type birds came from various backgrounds yet had a commonality that they all shared. What they shared was a passion for caged bird breeding, specifically canaries and various types of finches. Many of the founding members expressed frustration at what seems to be the diminishing interest in canary breeding and the lack of satisfaction obtained from membership in local area clubs. Here stands the foundation of Garden State Bird Club. Our club’s main purpose is to generate new interest in breeding small caged birds (canaries and finches). It seems that with the explosive popularity in hooked bill birds in recent years that interest in finch type birds has waned quite a bit. Perhaps people are attracted to the interactive qualities that hooked bills offer as opposed to the independent personality of canaries and their related types. Be it as it may, we here at GSBA are committed to perpetuating interest in canary and finch breeding so that others and future generations have an opportunity to see the wonders of breeding these marvelous birds. We hold monthly meetings at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Elizabeth, NJ on the first Friday of the month September through June from 8:00PM until approximately 9:30. The meeting’s focus is on bird breeding techniques and general club business. We discuss various ways to increase our membership. We initially started with about seven members and within a year have currently 38 members. We hold an annual bird show competition in November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving at the church where we hold our meetings. Anyone interested in joining our club or just coming to see our annual bird show should contact the following club members: Rui Goncalves (908) 868-1605 John Bernardes (908) 688-2434 Meetings are held at Our Lady of Fatima Church, 403 Spring St., Elizabeth, NJ, 07201 |
