Sent 2025-02-27: Birding & Nature Club: Upcoming Event -  

Notice: On behalf of the Garden Club and the Birding and Nature Club, I would like to extend my appreciation to our fellow neighbors who helped with the installation of the fence at Texas Ave. It was quite a project and the outcome could not have been better. Good work everyone! 

 

On Monday, March 3rd, we have the distinct pleasure of welcoming Naturalist and Valey Entrepreneur Keith Hackland as our guest speaker. Keith, along with his wife, Audrey Jones, own and operate the Alamo Inn, Alamo , Texas. Their Inn is a premier destination for birders from all around the world. Come join us as we welcome Keith to our birding club.

 

See you soon,

- Deb Jones, Secretary,     Birding and Nature Club

Sent 2025-02-26: GNDGT Afternoon Tee Time is 1:00 PM. Captains meet at 12:30 PM. -  

I made an error regarding the tee time for the PM group.

The tee time is 1:00P M not 12 noon as previously posted.

 

Also, the meeting time for the PM Captains was wrong.

They will meet at 12:30 PM not AM.

 

Please take note of my errors. The attached reflects the corrected pairings and the correct tee & captain meet times.

 

I hope this gets to everyone in time for them to realize this error.
