Our program for this week, February 15th features newly appointed Executive Director of the McDowell-Sonoran Conservancy, Justin Owen, and Interim-Director of the McDowell-Sonoran Conervancy, Paul Staker.  A lot of activities are taking place in the Conservancy  and we look forward to learning more about these activities and the direction for the Conservancy. Four of our club members are Stewards in the Conservancy.
 
Special Day for Special Kids (SDSKs) is now only ten (10) days away.

Breakfast will be catered by Wildflower Bakery.
 
I had a nice conversation with long-time club member, Len Teicher this week. Lenny is having surgery this week to improve circulation in his legs.  It was good to speak with Lenny.  He sounds good, and sends a hearty "hello" to all SSRC members.
