CHAPTER LEVEL
Twin Cities Chapter leadership is composed of 100% volunteers, and we can always use more help! We encourage our members to step up and become active whether only for a few hours a year or for a leadership position.
Nokomis Naturescape
Meet at the Naturescape on the 3rd Tuesday of the month June 18th, July 16th and August 20th, 2013 from 6 pm – 8 pm. Come early at 5 and bring a picnic supper to enjoy by the lake.
At 6 we will tour the gardens and talk about what’s in bloom. At 7 we’ll get our hands dirty with some garden maintenance. The evening will be topped off with a lakeside sunset. A lovely way to contribute to the beauty of the park!
