MONTHLY MEETING
NEW TIME - NEW LOCATION
May 28, 6:30 PM
MID-COLUMBIA LIBRARY, KENNEWICK BRANCH
1620 S. UNION ST., KENNEWICK
East Africa: Encounters of Every Kind
A Presentation by Scott and Pamela Woodward
All LCBAS members come to the May meeting! LCBAS members and conservation activists Scott and Pamela Woodward are bringing to our May meeting tales of their recent adventure to Central East Africa. This is not a visit to the zoo; it is a live emersion into a vanishing world known as the “Dark Continent”. Africa is constantly in motion, undergoing intense political and climatic change. The Woodwards felt a sense of urgency to go there and experience the cultures, landscapes and wildlife before they are altered forever.
The short business meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by a short social break where folks can enjoy coffee or tea and a cookie. Scott and Pamela will begin speaking around 7:00 p.m. (The meeting is beginning earlier as the library closes at 9:00 p.m.)
