The 2015 WSO convention will convene at the Quality Inn Midway Hotel in Wausau over Memorial Day weekend, with the Upper Wisconsin River and its flowages as the event's primary focus. The Wausau Bird Club will be assisting WSO with convention planning. Based on feedback from recent convention evaluations, WSO will be shifting the Thursday-Friday all-day field trips to Sunday and Monday and pre-registering the car caravan groups. The core convention schedule will remain unchanged with registration continuing on Friday evening, leading up to the Passenger Pigeon Awards ceremony and reception. Saturday will start early with local area field trips, followed by a luncheon, the business meeting, paper presentations and birding workshops. A Saturday evening social hour will conclude the silent auction and lead into the banquet and keynote speaker. The all-day field trips will depart from the hotel Sunday and Monday mornings, with a special "Birds and Beer" event planned for Sunday evening in Wausau. We hope to see you there!
