Join us for the Species-a-thon compilation and get-together at 6 p.m.
Wednesday night, also being held at the church.  There will be snacks and
beverages.  Bring a snack to share if you'd like.

The Species-a-thon fundraiser took the place of our auction this year.  The
first goal of this event is to have fun and interact with other members.  A
second goal is to learn more about our natural environment.  And a third
goal is to raise funds to help support the Central Iowa Group's activities
and projects such as:

 *Water quality monitoring equipment and training
 *Earth Day celebration and educational activities
 *Work on invasive species removal and education
 *Iowa Sierra Wetlands Poster
 *Polk County Conservation Board's "Save the Pieces Campaign"
 *Educational programs on environmental issues
 *Newsletter
