You are invited to join chapter leaders as we celebrate our successes of 2023 and look ahead to 2024. The evening will be mostly about getting to know each other, sharing stories from 2023 and Wild Ones Twin Cities plans for the future. 

SEED EXCHANGE

Please bring any Minnesota native plant seeds you are sharing in a labeled containers. Data should include Latin name, common name, date and location of where the seeds were collected. Any additional information on seed origin is welcome, such as which nursery you purchased your plants, etc. At the end of the evening, any seeds that remain will be collected by Wild Ones volunteers to be packaged for our January 20 Winter Sowing event. 

ANNUAL MEETING

Each year we elect officers for 2024. This is required via our charter and national organization. We contact nominees in the weeks leading up to our annual meeting to confirm their availability and willingness to serve. If this is something you are interested in learning more about, please contact Julia or Jeremy. You may also nomimate a member, or yourself, to become a chapter board member. While many board members hope to return in 2024, we do have open positions and will need to approve the slate of officers via a vote by the membership.  

PIZZA PARTY AND VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION

Thank you, thank you, thank you! to all who have helped us make this year a success! Let's celebrate with Pizza and enjoy an evening of new and renewed friendships. We'll order a mix of veggie, dairy free, meat lovers and gluten free pizza so everyone will be able to partake. Please RSVP to info@wildonestwincities.org
