Friends ever popular Annual Meeting and Refuge Open House will be on Saturday March 19 at refuge headquarters, off State Route 347 near Fowlers Bluff in Levy County. Come and enjoy. Dress for the weather. We spend a lot of time outdoors, and the indoors is essentially a pole barn. Even last year on a cool rainy day, though, all 100+ attendees managed to stay warm and have a great time. Here is the schedule:
