"The Big Year" Membership Promotion

Set yourself up for a movie date and help Eastside Audubon grow!

Each time you refer a friend who becomes a new member of EAS between September 14 and October 10, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a pair of tickets to see The Big Year, a major Hollywood movie about - wait for it - birding.

Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black star as three driven but very different birders in a no-holds-barred, year-long competition to be the one to spot the most birds in the U.S. Watch the movie trailer at http://www.thebigyearmovie.com/.

Opening October 14, the picture is a contemporary retelling of Mark Obmascik's non-fiction book The Big Year (Free Press) about the epic competition of 1998. Early reviews say the movie has warmth, comedy, and gorgeous shots of birds. 

To be part of the ticket drawing, have a friend fill out the EAS new member enrollment form and write a note on it saying that you made the referral. You can find the form in the Crier or on the website (at www.eastsideaudubon.org, click Get Involved, then click Join or Donate). Or have your friend call the EAS office at 425-576-8805 and mention your name.

Winners will be notified during the week of October 10, in time to make a date for opening weekend of the movie.
