October 1,  2025 – General Meeting - Noon 

Speaker: Kathy Connelly - Leave the Leaves, Save the Stems, Create Winter Beauty​

Fallen leaves, decaying logs, and dead-headed flowers nurture  overwintering birds, pollinators, fireflies, turtles, and other wildlife. But . . .  it's all so messy! How can we manage the practical and aesthetic concerns  that arise when we keep autumn materials on home or community  properties? 

Learn how Kathy experimented for several years with these ideas in her  own yard. She'll share what she learned about careful plant selection, plant  care, timing, and the role of design in the winter landscape. We'll also  discuss the life-giving importance of winter habitat for insects, birds, and  other wildlife.

March 4, 2026 - General Meeting - Noon 

Speaker:  Susan Baur - Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage Aren't Doing What You Think They're Doing

OLAUG, or "Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage," is a group of old  ladies, aged 64-85 and counting, who swim in the freshwater ponds of  Cape Cod collecting trash. They are serious about their mission, but as  you can maybe tell by their name, they don't take themselves too seriously.  The Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage will show a powerpoint  presentation with videos and stills. Each section will be narrated by a  different swimmer, kayaker, and a beach boss who attends and can  answer questions. They bring big photos of trash, hand-outs and can sell  Pond Guides or OLAUG Cookie Cookbooks if you like. Attendees will learn  how they choose ponds, dive to depths of 10’ to clean them of trash and  involve the pond associations and home owners groups to heighten  awareness of the value of Cape Cod’s ponds.
