New Program coming to the library.

When: Monday, January 12, 2009
Time: 1pm

Exciting news from the Citrus Springs Memorial Library! Recentlytwo very special people with similar interests met at the library with Virginia Buelke, President of the Library Association. These two very special people are Maureen Allen and Robert Strickland. Both are very talented wildlife photographers. While Maureen has lived in Citrus County a number of years, Bob just recently became a year-round Citrus County resident. Both are adamant about their love of wildlife and especially the wildlife of Citrus County. Maureen has shared many of her beautiful wildlife pictures in the library’s display cases. Robert Strickland, too, likes to choose wildlife for his photographic successes. He recently won the grand prize for photographing backyard nature for the Nationlal Wildlife Federation.

These two very talented people would like to organize a group with whom they can share their enthusiasm and love for the wildlife of Citrus County. You do not have to be a photographer to belong to this group. The only requirement is that you would like to explore various wildlife habitats in our county.

This special organizational meeting will be held on Monday afternoon, January 12, at 1 pm. at the library which is located at 1826 W. Country Club Blvd. in Citrus Springs. Bob and Maureen would like to choose a name for their group and set up a program for people who are interested in seeing wildlife and nature in the “raw.” Bob stated that Citrus County is a “ gold mine for observing native wildlife.” She and Bob plan to schedule short trips to areas nearby and in the future, they anticipate making other trips in and around Florida.

Newcomers, as well as old-timers, you have a wonderful chance to locate and appreciate the beauty of the wildlife in Citrus County. You won’t have to go far to meet a racoon, an opposum, fox, or coyote.

This sounds like a the making of a great group. Again, if you would like to explore Citrus County’s wildlife–be it with or without a camera–plan on attending this very first meeting at the library on Monday, January 12, at 1pm conducted by Maureen Allen and Robert Strickland.

Questions? Call Maureen (465-2983) or Robert (746-4687).
