• Club members were reminded that the current executive will be entering their second and final terms in office next September. Anyone interested in stepping into one of these roles should consider speaking up now so that they can be mentored for a full season before taking over. Remember: This is your club. It can’t function without everyone helping out.

• Our next meeting will be held on April 9th and will feature conservation photojournalist Neil Ever Osborne. We’ve been looking foreward to this presentation all season, as it’s bound to be both educational and motivational.
