Species-a-Thon Finale! Everyone is invited to Jester Park Lodge at 6:00 on Wednesday, October 15, for the Sierra Central Iowa Group's Species-a-thon Finale. Teams of Sierrans have compiled species counts and collected pledges. We will share these results and have an auction for some great items that evening. Included in the auction are four Ty Smedes nature prints. Ty is a well known local photographer and has donated these beautiful framed works of art. Another wonderful donation is a mountain bike (19" Schwinn Frontier FS listed at $280.00) from Barr Bike & Fitness. Chaco sandals, gift certificates to restaurants, and other items will also be auctioned. Snacks and beverages will be served. Please come and bring your friends!! Following this will be our regular meeting at 7:30 featuring speaker Mark Edwards. (Note: this will also be at the JESTER LODGE.) This is our big fundraiser of the year, the proceeds of which allow us to fund our local environmental work, and so we hope to have a good turnout. See you there.
