NOTE revisions
Please note that our Fall 2022 meetings have been moved from the third Thursday evening of the month. Meetings will be combined with a bird walk or program at different locations, mostly on the 2nd Saturday morning of the month. We are hoping this works better with people’s schedules and believe it will be more fun!
All our events are free and open to the public, except the Adkins Arboretum event we are joining.
