A 1972 Description
From Nimoyan Dispatch v.2 n.1:
Webster's Dictionary defines a NEST EGG as, "an egg left in the nest to induce the hen to lay more in the same place, hence something laid up as a beginning of a fund or collection, or as a reserve."The NIMOY NEST is a chapter of the LNAF, defines a NEST EGG as a quarterly publication of the chapter, designed to induce the members to collect copies, write letters, write material for the publications and invite their friends to join the chapter.
How would you like a NEST EGG to start your collection? For information about the Nimoy Nest, write to Richard or Denny Arnold.
Change of Leadership
From the May 1972 issue of The Nest Egg where "Big Bird" is listed as Richard Arnold and "Secretary Bird" is listed as Denny Arnold:
Richard Arnold is stepping down as President. Since he is now working full time and will be attending college in the fall, he feels that there won't be enough time. So as the moment, Denny is acting president, and waiting for a replacement. Any volunteers? Let's hear from you, members. If you would like changes in the structure of the chapter or our publication, let us know, or else we will continue to muddle along as we are.
