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,
