How to Join:

Members of the National Audubon Society in the central Missouri counties of Callaway, Cole, Maries, Moniteau are automatically members of the River Bluffs Chapter. Members receive Audubon magazine,"the world's most beautiful magazine." River Bluffs members also receive the chapter newsletter, The Timberdoodle, which is published in September, November, January, March and May and contains information on chapter programs, meetings and field trips. For a first-time membership, print a copy of the membership form (word doc) and send it with a $20 check (payable to the National Audubon Society) to:

For repeat memberships - send a check for $35. Your name will be placed on our local mailing list and forwarded to the National Audubon Society for processing. For more information regarding the River Bluffs Audubon Society, you may contact Celeste via e-mail or by phone at (573) 636-5993.

Youth Membership - For youth membership, print a copy of the youth application form (word doc) and send a check for $5. Your name will be placed on the local mailing list only (this membership does not include membership in the National Audubon Society). Youth members will receive the Timberdoodle five times a year so they have an increased opportunity to learn about birds and places to go birding. For more information regarding the youth membership you may contact Celeste via e-mail or by phone at (573) 636-5993.

Save paper, save trees on your renewal - Instead of receiving multiple renewal notices in the mail, members of the National Audubon Society can now call 800-274-4201 and ask to sign up for Audubon's Paper-free Renewal Program. Those who sign up will have their membership automatically renewed each year, and will simply receive one bill approximately two months in advance of their membership expiration date. River Bluffs members should indicate our chapter number, which is NO9-7XCH. This will help ensure that a share of the national dues is returned to the chapter.

Monthly Program and Membership Meetings:
The River Bluffs Audubon Society meets at 7:00 pm on the second Thursday of each month from September to May at the Runge Nature Center on Hwy 179 one half mile north of Hwy 50 in Jefferson City, Missouri.  Guest speakers discuss birds, wildlife, the habitat which supports them, and other environmental issues.  The public is welcome at these interesting and educational meetings.  The program meetings are followed by socializing and a general membership meeting.  See The Timberdoodle or the calendar for details.  Members are also welcome to attend the chapter board meetings.  Contact the chapter president for more information.

*The programs are generally held in the Runge Nature Center Auditorium, while the chapter meetings are held across the hall in the Wildlife Room.
