This beautifully- illustrated presentation will focus on the history, glacial geology, flora and fauna, former residents, and unusual features of our nearby Mendon Ponds Park. It will reveal several little known ‘secrets’ to be found within the park’s 2,700 acres. The program will begin promptly at 4PM, so please arrive early to find your seat.
A delicious buffet dinner catered by Spinelli’s (see attached reservation form for menu) will follow the presentation. The cost is $30 (all-inclusive) per person. Please see the attached to make reservation for the dinner.
