Meeting Update AKA: A Whole Lotta Stuff To Do

Well its been a very busy last couple of weeks but we have rounded the corner and are heading home to wrap up another successful semester. We have alot of items on our to do list so lets do this!!

1) Bolsa Chica Wetland Hike this Saturday at 10:00am

Please plan on getting there at 10:00am so we can be prepared to walk at 10:15. I have attached a google map of the location, you can park for free behind the Jack in the Box on the corner of PCH and Warner and walk over or park at your own risk in the shopping center across the street. We will head to Julias house after the hike for some light refreshments and intellectual conversion afterwards.
