We are back at 2nd Presbyterian for our monthly meeting. Our guest speaker will be congressman French Hill. He will talk about the environmental work he has been doing, including the expansion of the Flatside Wilderness. We will also discuss current events and upcoming outings in a business meeting.

Stewart Noland is leading an overnight float somewhere on the Buffalo. We will post the final put-in spot on the website, Ozarksociety.net in the outings tab. Bring your own food and drinks and equipment needed to sleep on the sand bar. If you don’t have a boat, rentals will be available or ask around to borrow one. Come enjoy an early fall weekend on the River. Email Stewart for more info or tell him you’d like to join in. stewartnoland51@aol.com
