Community Bulletin Board – August 9, 2009

A quiet week for new news – don’t be shy, send your announcements in!

If you have news, event or classified listings that you want to share with the NBN community, send your info to me for posting on the community board, to get the word out to everyone! Submissions can be sent to sanderling [at] symbiotic [dot] ca, with the subject line “NBN Bulletin Board”. Don’t forget to include your blog’s name and URL. The weekly board will be posted every Sunday.

Web Events

International Vulture Awareness Day 2009 is hosting a blog festival on September 5. IVAD09 invites you to blog about vultures. Write, film, draw or photograph Old or New World vultures and share your post with the world, then share your link via Mr. Linky here. The IVAD09 blog festival will start on September 4 at 19:00 UTC/GMT/Zulu time.

NBN News

We’re making some progress with mapping all of our NBN members, but there are still many new as well as familiar faces missing. If you haven’t done so already, we encourage you to submit your city and state/province/country and your blog name and address to Wren (click here) so that she can add it to our NBN map.

Contests and Promotions

Amber of Birder’s Lounge also reminds members that her photo ID challenge and Do Something! (Good) campaign are always ongoing. Some great causes benefit from both of these, so swing by and participate, if you haven’t already!
