The February meeting of the Stanton Bird Club will be a special one as the club continues its 100th anniversary celebration with an Open House featuring paintings, drawing, and prints by artist Dan Cake, a beloved local artist who is remembered for his splendidly meticulous images of the birds of Maine.

The open house will feature a special presentation about some early founders of the club from 2:30 to 3:00, as well as social time, live jazz guitar music by John Smedley, refreshments, and door prizes. The public is welcome. Those planning to attend must RSVP by contacting Jeri Maurer at 524-2060or at stantonbirdclub@gmail.com.
