Other things to do on October 4
Come early, enjoy the refuge and participate in our fundraising event the silent auction. Our silent auction last year was fun and successful! We are holding this fundraising event at the Chapter's Annual Dinner because it gives us a chance to celebrate the many Iowans who are doing their share to save wildlands. How can you help? Donate and/or bid. Use your imagination! You may contact Jim Redmond 712-258-8303 OR the Chapter office, 515-277-8868; [log in to unmask]
There is a two-mile walking trail through the refuge prairie restoration and past the buffalo enclosure. Be sure to watch the center's wonderful video on the return to wildness theme. If you would like to come early in the day for stewardship activities on the refuge (prairie rescue), please contact Jane Clark at [log in to unmask] or 515-223-5047 to make arrangements. If you'd like to volunteer your time or assistance with any aspect of this year's Annual Dinner, please let us know.
