Discover Nature

Thursday, October 14 at 9 am we will meet for “Discover Nature” at the 801 Community Housing Center. We will start with a Nature Lesson and follow with exploration and a picnic lunch at Ned Houk Park. For the younger ones please be saving your egg cartons and bring what you have saved that morning. We will need these for their exploration time. Older ones will be doing something similar but at their level of ability and not need the egg cartons. This will be a great time of involvement with our kids in nature and then we will all chat, play at the park and eat a packed picnic lunch that you bring!!!
