TONIGHT’S
EVENT :
‘Herping
the Hoosier State’
is the topic this evening. Our speaker is coming down from Indiana to share his
knowledge and photography of herps of his home turf.
Andrew Hoffman
is an 18-year-old enthusiast who
plans a post-college career as a herp field researcher.
His current goal is to record every Indiana herp in the wild, and he’s
made great strides in that direction already.
He’ll take us on a photo tour of his experiences herping Indiana, and
maybe throw in a few shots of his herping adventures in Florida too.
MEETING SITE : In Ft. Myers, Florida at the Calusa Nature Center , near Colonial Blvd. (S. R. 884) and Interstate 75. Get off I-75 at exit #136 (old exit #22) and go west (towards the coast) on 884 (Colonial Blvd.) for one-half mile, then turn right at the first traffic light onto Ortiz Ave., and then left into the Nature Center after only one-quarter mile. The Iona House meeting site is an older dark green house located to the left (as you enter the grounds) at the rear of the complex, back near where the school busses are parked. The meeting opens at 7:00 pm, and the speaker usually starts no later than 7:15 pm. Non-members must pay $3.00 at the door to attend the meeting. Click HERE for a map to the meeting site. After each meeting, all attendees are invited to join "the core" for an informal nightcap at RJ Gator's Restaurant / Sports Bar on Colonial Blvd. where we usually gather following meetings which end at 8:30 pm.
WHO'S INVITED ? You are! Anyone with an interest in any aspect of herpetology or herpetoculture is welcome to attend, learn, and exchange their experiences with our friendly membership. Come out to meet others who keep, breed or study reptiles and amphibians, and let them share their fascination with you. We average 35 – 70 people attending every meeting.
Cookies and cold soda, a nightly raffle of live herps, herp products, and books follow each speaker's talk, and lots of herp camaraderie, gossip, and fun can be counted upon at all meetings !
