If any member is aware of a speaker, please reach out to them. Otherwise, Jerri Wilkins will share photos and samples collected on VicPS summer fieldtrips, as well as Symposium fieldtrips to Princeton and Ashcroft.
The 40 minute limitation on Zoom – free version – appears to have been reinstated, and we are unsure of the limitation Zoom may now impose on the number of participants. We may need to work around these limits. Watch your emails for a message on meeting connection details.
When: 9:00AM, Sunday, September 19, 2021

Directions: Victoria area members, meet at Helmcken Park & Ride at 9:00 am to arrange carpooling. Members from up-island may join the trip in Duncan when we stop at Java World for a coffee between 9:45 and 10 am.
