Guest Speaker – Jeffrey B. LeClere, author of A Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Iowa. Reptiles and amphibians are indicator species, which means their population health reflects the health of our environment. LeClere will discuss how our knowledge of reptiles and amphibians informs us on what we do about climate change, water issues, and development.

Chef – Donna Prizgintas, radio host and personal chef to Hollywood celebrities. Donna uses local foods in creative and festive dishes.

I look forward to visiting with you on the 28^th.
