A Saturday Too Remember
Hello all just an update on Nature Programs at Oscar.
April 24th was a happening day at the Lake Osprey Nature Center.
Elsa’s Nature Programs was the name of the game, with a record number for Fish Printing. The first class had 19 children, then a mother came in, a family reunion group from Tampa and ask if they could have a class. At 2:00 PM they started, 17 kids and about as many adults PLUS we had some of the seniors from Venice group painting as well. It was the most people I have seen at the Nature Center all interacting at one time for any program in the past.
I had a personal emergency Saturday and was unable to do the guided walk for Nature Detective … BUT… The Florida State Park Volunteer Of The Year, Russ Delaney lead the group thirsty for nature knowledge, on their return we gained a few more who wanted to paint the plaster bobcat tracks and view Oscar’s Nature Detectives slide show.
I would like to say thanks to all the year round volunteers such as Joyce, Ed and Diana who make our programs pop with their enthusiasm and effort.
Thank you Lynn and Lisa for coming back this summer to help with our programs!
