John is going to <br />look into if anything is organized for Louisville. <br />Mosquito and Insect Pest Control <br />Mosquito and Insect "Pest" Control vs. Pollinator Protection - John has <br />downloaded some information from CSU and Louisville City website. Could <br />we encourage reduction of pesticides and some native plantings at the <br />Coal Creek Golf Course? <br />Speaker Program <br />Susan, Amy, and John are working on speakers and John is working with Jill <br />at the Louisville Library to get some open dates for the large meeting room. <br />In January and February, about six dates are available for evening slots, <br />John will check with Abby and Ginger on deadlines for the city printed <br />calendar. Helen will check in with NCAR to see if they have topics that <br />would coincide with our mission. <br />So far, Amy has been in touch with Mikela Trove (spelling?) for a <br />presentation in January. Amy is available for a February time slot. <br />Susan is in touch with a speaker from the Northern Water Board for <br />March. A tentative April presentation on Dark Sky could also <br />mention night -flying insects. Need confirmation from Library of <br />meeting room availability (John to follow up). <br />NEW ITEM: Beekeeping Talk/Resources??
