FARMS AT WORK
Her Topic: NATIVE BEES - WHAT'S THE BUZZ?
Susan is a consultant with Farms at Work, an organization with a mission to promote healthy and active farmland in East Central Ontario. Susan has expertise in many aspects of agricultural education and a special passion for pollinators, including native bees. She also teaches in the Sustainable Agriculture program at Fleming College and in the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program at Trent University. Susan holds a B.Sc (Agriculture) from McGill, an M.Sc in Environmental Biology (Pollination) from the University of Guelph, and a B.Ed. from the University of Western Ontario.
As usual we will be fundraising by selling our 50/50 tickets and our MPFN Magic Bean Soup.
SEPTEMBER IS MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL TIME
You can help us keep things running smoothly by coming to the meeting a little earlier than usual (7 PM maybe?) with your membership application that you received in the mail all filled out and ready to go and with the exact change or a cheque to renew your membership. Same great price as last year.
MPFN Memberships are Family $45, Single $25, Under 30 FREE
Please invite your friends and neighbours to try out the MPFN. Nature needs Naturalists.
Once again we will be running our GREAT NATURE BOOK SALE. You can bring along any used nature books you'd like to donate. Books donated will be resold for what the buyer thinks they're worth with all proceeds going to club operations.
Don't forget to Lug-A-Mug for refreshments after the meeting.
Thanks to Ellen Dennig for providing name tags for all members. Don't forget to pick yours up on the way into the meeting and then leave it in the box on your way out.
See You Thursday Night
Ken MacDonald, Program Director/MPFN
