Membership Meetings
Ohlone Audubon Membership Meetings:
Ohlone holds ten monthly Membership Meetings featuring programs on birds and the environment and are open to all! Because Ohlone covers all the cities of Southern and Eastern Alameda County, we alternate our monthly meeting places in order to better serve our entire membership. We're always on the lookout, and welcome suggestions, for attractive, affordable, and conveniently located meeting facilities.
