This month is Bird Month where it is suggested that you make something about birds.

I am so happy to see our Show and Tell session growing. The prize for the challenge will be drawn from the names of the people who have shown something at the club. The more things you show, the more times your name will be in for the drawing. Be sure to show something so you have a CHANCE of winning. Here are the challenges presently submitted.
