Volunteer Meeting and Lecture Series: Along the Caloosahatchee River

Our November meeting features Amy Bennett Williams, author of Along the Caloosahatchee River. Amy, a journalist for The NewsPress, tells the Caloosahatchee’s story of the ancient animals that once roamed its shores, the 19th century entrepreneurs who bent it to their wills, and the celebrities who have relaxed on its waters. Richly illustrated with historical images and observations, the book chronicles the life of the waterway that joins the heart of Southwest Florida to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. Copies will be available for sale and signing by the author after the meeting for the special volunteer rate of $18. Volunteer meetings are free and open to the public. Contact Bobby Feldman or Holly Shaffer, Program Managers at 239-335-3694 for information. This meeting will take place in the South Florid Water Management Lecture Hall.
