`BIRDMAN' WILL SPEAK TO THE EXECUTIVES CLUB

The Cape Girardeau Executives Club Dinner meeting Sept. 24 will feature "Renaissance Birdman," David McKelvey at the Drury Lodge at 7 p.m.

He describes himself as "a hybrid: one-quarter artist, one-quarter poet and one-half scientist." McKelvey's talk will feature anecdotes and his repertoire of humorous animal sounds.

McKelvey has led conservation efforts to save endangered species in England, Africa and Mauritius. He is also a scientist and former avian curator in Ohio, Michigan and Texas. McKelvey is a wildlife watercolor artist and has published three children's books concerning basic animal behaviors.

Reservations for the dinner must be received by Sept. 20.
