Club meeting tomorrow! ***NO DINNER due to the college not officially open yet!
Jennifer Berry, PhD will speak on the topic: Pollinators--We Need Them, Now They Need Us!

This presentation will explain the reasons behind the decline of pollinators and, more importantly, discuss actionable steps we can take to slow it. Please join us at 6:30 PM as we explore how even small actions can make a meaningful difference.
