This meeting was greatly anticipated by members and was the most popular of the year. Our member Margaret Holloway is a dual citizen of the USA and Australia. We love her accent and her willingness to share specifics of her culture. We each received a token Australian flag with our cake dessert. Margaret shared her prepared visuals and commentary on the wildlife, flora and locations special to her. Unfortunately, wildfires have jeopardized large geographic areas of Australia, recently. There are several organizations to which donations can be made. These include:
SAVE THE KOALA -- Sydney Zoo Foundation. https://sydneyzoofoundation.com.au
Science for Wildlife -- https://chuffed.org/project/wildlife-bushfire-crisis#inspiringaction
New South Wales Rural Fire Service -- https:/www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/about-us/funding
We were reminded that these might be good ideas for birthday and Christmas, by making a donation in a special person's name.
