interest for birdwatchers. A fabulous lunch was served at K1

Threatened Species Art Exhibition & Launch, 14-30 October 2009
Nature Foundation's "Threatened Species" Exhibition featured
works by eleven of South
Australia's leading wildlife artists with Wendy Jennings as its
curator. The Burnside City Council Atrium provided a wonderful space in
which to display these paintings and our volunteers from Friends for
Nature were on hand to tell people more about the work of the NFSA. It
is hoped to make this a biennial event.
Barbara Hardy Testimonial & Annual Dinner - 26 October 2009
To recognize Barbara's enormous contribution to our natural environment
and to SA's community life, we held a Testimonial Dinner in the
magnificent Bonython Hall with 250 guests. We were very pleased that
the Premier, The Hon Mike Rann MP and the Minister for the
Environment, The Hon Jay Weatherill MP attended as well as Dick Smith,
a personal friend of Barbara's. Ten corporate members provided some
much appreciated support and three paintings were auctioned from
the Threatened Species Art Exhibition.
