These programs are held the first Tuesday of each month. The nature program will start at 11:00 a.m. at the Jester Park Lodge. An optional luncheon, catered by The Radish, follows the program at noon in which pre-registration is required. The cost of the catered lunch is $7.00. Lunch menu - Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, bread and dessert.
