A nice crowd joined us at Jack and Maggie Lee’s farm on SATURDAY MAY 10 for a day of fun, friendship, and learning. The meal featured hamburgers and brats from the Lee’s grassfed Texas Longhorn cattle, homemade desserts, Nicaraguan gallo pinto, and the “brew canoe”

The grill was lit at 2 PM. Other interesting afternoon activities:

3pm WATER MONITORING DEMONSTRATION at two sites this year, the Kickapoo River and a feeder stream. Gary Thompson and Terry Beck of Valley Stewardship discussed the process and its benefits to the community.

4pm WALKS ON THE MISSISSIPPI CONSERVANCY LAND - THE TUNNELVILLE CLIFFS.
Guides Barbara Duerksen and Cathy Pierce identified birds and their songs; Chelsea Bagot and Aaron Wunnicke talked about spring flowers and trees.

All this raised money for our friends in the Chacocente Valley, Santa Teresa, Nicaragua.
