Annual Bucks County Audubon Society Birdathon - teams of bird
watchers will scour Bucks County to spot birds for the Annual Bucks
County Audubon Society Birdathon. The Birdathon, now in its 18th
year, is a fund raising competition between teams to identify the
most bird species in Bucks County. All levels of birders are welcome.
Money is raised through pledges or donations to support the education
and conservation programs of BCAS. This year’s goal for the
event has been set at $1500. All funds raised through the Birdathon
are used locally for the Bucks County Audubon’s environmental
projects. The Birdathon also produces valuable information on bird
populations. Avian statistics accumulated since the start of the
event have provided a better understanding of the ecological health
of our county. There is a registration fee of $10 per person. Teams
should register by April 22. To register a team, join a team, make
a pledge, or sponsor one of the many teams, call the Bucks County
Audubon office at (215) 297-5880. Visit our website www.bcas.org.

Roxey Ballet Company - May Magic - Children's Classics: "Carnival
Of The Animals" & "Graduation Ball" Date:
May 1 & 2, 2004 at 3 p.m. Location: Villa Victoria
Theater, Ewing, NJ Tickets: Adults $26.50, Seniors, Disabled
and Children Under 12, $19.50. Share this annual tradition with
friends and family! Children's classic stories provide the most
exciting family entertainment you've ever seen at a ballet performance.
Carnival Of The Animals brings to life the music of the one
of the most famous composers of our time, Camille Saint-Saëns.
Young and old alike are sure to leave with smiles and memories
when they are done visiting the land of the Majestic Lion, Braying
Mule, Dancing Elephant, and Bouncing Kangaroos. Graduation Ballet
Set in a fashionable girls' school in New Jersey in 2004, the
pupils of a ladies finishing |
| school invite the graduates of a nearby military
academy to their annual ball for which they have arranged a
"divertissement." The cadets arrive with their General-Director
who flirts with the head mistress of the girls' school. Stiff
and awkward at first, the boys soon start to dance with the
girls. There follows a series of divertissements - 'The Drummer
Boy', a fanciful pas de deux - 'the Wili and the Scotsman' and
the lively fouette contest before the final dancing to Strauss'
Perpetuum Mobile, transforming the ball into a wild celebration.
Reluctantly, the General-Director and cadets take their leave
at the end of the evening. Click
