Upcoming Events and News
We have monthly meetings that are free and open to the public on the third Wednesday of each month (April-October) at 7:00 PM at Jennings Environmental Education Center (unless otherwise noted). All meetings start with approximately 20 minutes of 3MJC and park-related news updates, followed by a featured educational presentation by a local speaker or organization.

Everybody else, we'll see you at our next public meeting on August 19! Details will be posted soon!
