1st meeting of 2016 - 3/10 Neonicotinoids and 2016 programs reviewed

Hello everyone,  

I hope that everyone is doing well and excited about spring coming so quickly! While we were blessed with a very mild winter I am very anxious to get out in the yard and start digging!  There are tiny buds everywhere and tinges of color on the trees.  A huge group of starlings wiped out my birdfeeders this morning!

Next Thursday, March 10, at 7 pm at the Meeting House,  will be our first meeting of the year.  Our club members Holly Kocet and Mary Wilson will be giving a very important presentation on Neonicotinoids, neonics for short.   They will discuss where do we find these pesticides,  how do they impact our pollinators, how do they affect the food and water we drink and what is the long term plan to educate and stop the widespread use of them. 

We will also be reviewing the 2016 programs that are scheduled and all of the activities planned for the year. 

I would appreciate three volunteers for refreshments.   Please let me know if you are able to bring something to share.

Looking forward to seeing everyone !!!
