Next meeting Apr 6th 7:00 PM at Museum of Natural Science Our April program will be by Connie Stolke from Sea Center Texas |
|
I hope everyone has had a happy spring so far this year. Maybe the Janthinas will be coming ashore within the next two months and we can all enjoy their purple beauty. Our April program will be presented by Connie Stolke from Sea Center Texas. Connie is very enthusiastic about Sea Center and since this is their spawning season she should have a great program for us. We will follow-up with a tour to the Sea Center on April 24 at 3:00 pm. I would like to suggest that we plan to go out to eat following the tour. Plan to come to the April meeting with your suggestions for where to eat. Also at our April meeting, we will hear from the nominating committee. If you would like to serve as an officer for one year please contact, Rusti Stover, Janey Nill or Cliff Harris. Election of officers will take place at the May meeting and the new officers actually take office in September. Congratulations go to Leslie Crnkovic who has won major awards at several Florida shell shows over the past few months. Way to go Leslie!!! Let us all remember that COA will be held this June in Tampa, Florida. Texas shellers are always well represented at the convention and as usual we eat too much and have loads of fun. So if you have not made arrangements to attend, do so now so that you do not miss out on the food, fun and many shells to be found. See you April 6th. Happy Shelling, |
