2012 Message From the President
New Year… new members… new programs… new adventures!!2012 looks to be another phenomenal year for Blatchley Nature Study Club! The future of Blatchley continues to move in the right direction, with improvements in programming as well as improvements to the Blatchley property. The clubhouse itself received some needed attention as members fought (and at least temporarily won!) the battle against the local birds by repairing woodpecker damage, and then giving the building a new paint job! A fantastic new walkway constructed by Noblesville Boy Scouts will allow access to the preserve even when local flooding occurs during the spring. And additional projects are planned for 2012!
Changes to our current by-laws, and continued solid leadership from our board of directors, will further move us into a position to become a strong force in the study of nature in Hamilton County. Our membership brings a great deal of diversity in interest, accomplishments, and volunteerism, which in turn helps to make our club a vital and energetic entity. The shared responsibility for the growth of the club is a major focus of our members. It will be this attitude that drives Blatchley in this new year!
It is my fervent hope that more and more of our members will continue their contributions of time and energy to the club. Whether it is by making a presentation, helping with maintenance of the building and grounds, or hosting one of our monthly meetings, I challenge all of the members to become a more involved and active part of the Blatchley family. Together, we can achieve more!
