SPECIAL EVENT: Read Aloud the Declaration of Independence!
SPECIAL USA-wide EVENT! Read Aloud the Declaration of Independence!
Join us for this unique event, one to prove memorable!
On July 8, 1776, four days after the signing, the United States Declaration of Independence was read aloud from the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, and later distributed to public facilities across the fledgling country.
250 years later, this country will do this again, but this time, you are invited to participate! At exactly 5:00pm Central Daylight Time on June 8, we will gather at the Froio Garden and read aloud printed copies of The Declaration, just as people across the country in every time zone will do the same!
In case of inclement weather, festivities will be move to Meeting Room A.

Invite Nature to Your Yard!
Invite Nature to Your Yard!
Join us as we learn all about creating more eco-friendly yards!
Jim Kleinwachter of The Conservation Foundation will show us how the “typical” yard can easily be improved to help reduce water run-off, increase wildlife habitat, and improve the soil. The benefits of improving the environment are many including, reducing your water use, creating more area for birds and butterflies, reducing chemical use, less lawn mowing, and learning about invasive species that may need to be controlled in your yard.
This education program will cover a variety of techniques for transforming your yard, including the use of rain barrels, rain gardens, and the selection and use of native plants to solve yard problems. Native plants grow naturally and need no watering or fertilizers once established. Additionally, these plants thrive on their own and do well, even during drought conditions. Their deep roots hold the soil, allow water to filter down deep into the ground where it belongs and, because they “evolved” here, they attract dozens of species of beneficial wildlife such as butterflies and songbirds.
Participants will receive complimentary a butterfly attraction & identification pamphlet, a native plant guide, and a rain garden (solving water issue) brochures!
