If the library lot is full, proceed to the adjourning lot for Hillview Community Center. From El Camino, travel towards the hills on San Antonio Road, cross Edith and turn left into unmarked driveway just before Hillview. Helpers are welcome as always, to assist with setup and carrying in books, plants and refreshments. There were several meetings in 2000 during which CNPS members discussed the directions CNPS should take in the future. This meeting will be held at Stanford University because of the help from Dr. Alan Launer and the Center for Conservation Biology.
All CNPS members are welcome to attend.
Since the September meeting will be held at Stanford and will focus on conservation issues, I encourage all of our members with an interest in conservation or an interest in our state organization to attend. This is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the state who share our passion for native plants. Because our chapter is hosting this meeting, there will be many opportunities to volunteer to assist with this special event. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any of our Chapter officers if you are interested in becoming involved. This is a special opportunity to learn more about your state organization and to meet many people who are working to conserve our wild places and our native flora.
