The LIHS kicked off its 2013/2014 season with a general meeting this past Sunday, September 22nd. The meeting was attended by about 15 members (to maybe 20 at best and I think that a stretch). We discussed some general stuff and then Vin Russo ran the scheduled Snake Sexing Workshop. He probed and popped a lot of snakes. While that was going on, the rest of the membership talked about whatever.
Being that only about 15 or so members attended the meeting, I got to wondering what we could do to increase attendance at the meetings. I have a few ideas of my own but I would sure like to hear from any of the membership as to what you guys think we can do to make the meetings more interesting for all of us. If you have an idea along those lines, anything at all within reason, please leave a comment to this post with your thoughts.
Some upcoming LIHS Events:
1) On October 13th, Sunday, the LIHS will have a table at the Long Island Reptile Expo. If you are able to volunteer to help man the table, please contact Rich Meyer Jr. at gojiira@optonline.net.
2) Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday, October 20th, at 1PM. The meeting will consist of general business, nominations for the executive board (which were not held last week) and a presentation: Reptiles & Amphibians of Long Island, Part 1 (of 4 parts), Snakes and Lizards. I am pretty certain that the speaker will be John Heiser. It will be held in the Conference Center at SUNY Farmingdale from 1-4PM (it may end earlier).
Hope to see you at these events.
All the best,
Glenn B
