I would like a write a script that scans a particular GROUP and look for entries that have the field "birthday" with something other than null.  I would then like to list the first name and birthday so that i can print them.

set data_list to {}
tell application "Address Book"
        set the_group to (item 1 of (choose from list (get name of groups)))
        set Birthday_People to people of group the_group whose birth date is not missing value
        repeat with this_person in Birthday_People
                copy {first name of this_person, short date string of (get birth date of this_person)} to end of data_list
