Speaker Series: Wanderlust Wednesdays

In this special summer 2025 series, we learn the need-to-know tips and not-to-missed sites from recent nature-inspired adventures taken by fellow TGC community members. Through photos, anecdotes, and occasional mementos, attendees will get to live vicariously through each other's traveling tales.

This series will be held monthly free for our volunteers on selected Wednesdays starting at 11am. Non-volunteers are welcome to attend for a suggested donation of $5 at the door. Space is limited.
Questions?  Contact Amanda at 314-725-8314 X 102 OR [email protected].
