May Meeting Rescheduled: Sunday, May 21, 2017

We have moved the May NPA meeting up one week to accommodate members’ Memorial Day weekend plans.

Meet in the Burke Room at 1:00 p.m.

Hands-On Activity: Sunday, May 7, 2017

We will be piecing together fossil parts from either a turtle or a Triceratops frill–it will be like working on a big communal puzzle. Get to know other NPA Members in this informal setting. Bring finger food snacks to share.

Drop by the Burke Room from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Members, please RSVP directly to Tom.

Non-members, this is a members-only event; however, you may RSVP using the Contact Us form and become an NPA member at the event.

Stonerose Weekend: April 28 – 30

If you are planning on going to the members-only weekend at Stonerose, plan your route with road closure possibilities in mind. You can check the WSDOT website and Stonerose will post an update on road conditions on their website on Wednesday, April 26.
