Virtual Speaker Meeting Scheduled for Friday May 21 st at 7:00pm.

Miguel Jimenez will present a program on the birds and resource management
activities at the Pixley National Wildlife Refuge. Details and the appropriate media link will be posted in May.

When in-person speaker meetings resume, they will be held on the third Friday of each month at 7 pm, preceded by a no-host dinner at Marie Callender’s (Mooney at HWY 198) at 5:15 pm, where you can usually meet the speaker. The first part of the meeting is business and usually lasts 15-20 minutes.  The second part of the meeting includes a presenter on a conservation topic or photo presentation, open questions, and refreshments.  We meet only during the school year (September - May) and we do not have general meetings in December and January.
