We met just hours before the US Presidential inauguration to hear from one of our members, Ted Calvert. He talked about the various Open Space District Preserves around Healdsburg and many of the wonders contained within. You can learn more about these spaces at www.SonomaOpenSpace.org
The Healdsburg High School Interact club took over the meeting and, as usual, enjoyed themselves and raised money by humiliating the membership with a quiz centered mostly on current pop-culture facts. We always have a great time each year when they join us.
