Please start thinking about getting in touch with our Vice President, Mary 
McKenna (dr.mary.mckenna at gmail.com) if you have a short presentation 
you would like to make during the September Members' Night meeting.

Next Meeting: September 5, 2023 at 7pm. "Doors" will open by 6:45.
Several members will be giving 5-10 minute presentations on various 
topics.

As in the past, our September "Members' Night" will provide an opportunity 
for several members to share some of their botanical travel or research 
slides, or to present other short subjects (10 minutes or less) to which 
this format is especially suited.

(Link will be provides prior to September 5.)
