This month’s meeting program is being hosted by Linda Gibboney, Chair of the Conservation Community Service Program Committee.  In honor of Earth Day we are having a vegetarian potluck luncheon and the special guest speaker is from the South Florida Wildlife Care Center featuring the injured, orphaned and imperiled animals they save on a daily basis.  The members of the “Hibiscus Boutique” will showcase their hand-crafted items made from recycled and reused materials.
