Upcoming Events
Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - Regular meeting!  One major task is finding volunteers for our Officer positions and for the "Key Personnel" positions.  Please consider volunteering!  Information about these positions and their Duties and Responsibilities may be found on the "Club" page in the left column.
The program will be given by Cari Powell  -- “ Flora of Bosque del Apache: A tour of the Desert Arboretum and the Pollinator Habitat Enhancement Project”.   Join Cari Powell with Friends of Bosque del Apache on a tour of the Desert Arboretum and the Pollinator Habitat Enhancement Project at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge located in San Antonio, NM. Learn about the native cacti, flowers, shrubs and trees at both sites as well as how you can be involved with these volunteer powered projects!
