On August 3, 2024, we’re gathering to celebrate.<div><br></div><div>Please join us at the amazing Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby, CT. We will open with a special presentation by longtime supporter and past conservation chair, Christine Cook, on the importance of Joe-pye Weed and the amazing butterfly species that it attracts. She likely has the largest photo-collection of butterflies on Joe-pye in the universe! We ask that folks bring a bagged lunch to enjoy in the picnic area after the presentation. Afterwards, we will explore the grounds on a guided butterfly walk.</div><div><br></div><div>This event is free and open to the public, so we hope to see you there!</div><div><br></div><div>-John</div><div><br></div><div>John Himmelman<br><div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">jhimmel@comcast.net<br>*************************<br>Visit my websites:<br><br>www.johnhimmelman.com<br>www.greenhillmartialarts.org</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">www.ctbutterfly.org<br><br><br>"The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things."
