Join us for our annual meeting and awards ceremony at the Pavilion at Ascarate Park.  We are having lunch instead of dinner so we can do some bird watching too!  Star Posada will lead a bird walk at the park at 10:00 a.m., also meeting at the Pavilion. Participants can expect to see several species of duck, Burrowing Owls, and blackbirds. And possibily some surprises as well!
