For the last few years the New Haven Bird Club has offered a prize for bird related projects in the New Haven Science Fair.  This year's prize of $200 was funded by Mike and Pat Horn as well as the donations to the Club in the name of Millie Letis who passed away in 2007.  This year's prize, the Millie Letis Memorial Award was given to Ms. JoAnn Barone's 1st grade class from Truman School.  Their project, entitled "Sticky Situation" looked at the effects of oil on a birds' feathers.
