Our latest Social Night on April 17 brought together members and friends for an evening of games, camaraderie, and conservation spirit in our historic clubhouse. With each month offering a fresh theme and new ways to connect, these gatherings are quickly becoming a highlight for our community.


But that’s not all! Our Paint & Sip: Native Blooms & Brushes event on April 18 was a massive hit, selling out well in advance! Participants unleashed their inner artists, learning about and painting vibrant native flowers while enjoying a relaxed, atmosphere. The overwhelming response shows just how much our community loves blending art with the outdoors.



Growing Interest: More Music, More Games, More Nature-Inspired Fun

The excitement doesn’t stop here. There’s a growing buzz around making Social Night even bigger, with plans for more games, live music, and interactive activities on the horizon. Whether you love friendly competition, great tunes, or simply unwinding with like-minded conservationists, there’s something for everyone.


Facilitator Kathleen Brgidina-Haerr, Eco-Artist & Earth Activist guides participants through the process of painting their nature scenes on blank plates that can be baked and used as serving platters.


Plus, due to the success of our sold-out art night, keep an eye out for more nature-themed creative workshops coming soon. From painting to hands-on crafts, we’re committed to offering more ways for you to connect with nature and each other.


Don’t miss out—join us at our next Social Night or other events and be part of this vibrant, growing community!


Connect. Create. Conserve. See you at the clubhouse!
