It’s the Merry Month of March already and under the promise of better and warmer weather we will have our regularly scheduled BNC meeting. It’s only Sunday so I have a few days to either get sick, lose my voice, dodge a hurricane or recover from a horrible bite from last month’s savage little groundhog.

We will be taking nominations from the floor this meeting for our slate of officers that will lead us for the 2019-2020 season. Thanks to the efforts of Elizabeth Szala, Elizabeth Lambert and Helenea Grace we have a slate of officers to propose to the membership. Additional nominations and candidates are always welcome.

This month’s speaker will have us digging in the sand to learn all about our hard- shelled little friends at the beach. Jeff Weingrand from the Ocean Isle Beach Sea Turtle Protection Organization will be talking to us about all the good work they do to help the turtles survive and flourish.

Giving Back To Brunswick (GBTB) for the month of March will be helping Brunswick Family Assistance (BFA) restock their Food Pantry. The items that they requested are as follows: peanut butter, canned tuna, canned fruit, boxed cereal, baked beans, canned vegetables, paper towels, and toilet paper. Please be as generous as you have in the past and I’m sure many families not as fortunate as we are will be very grateful.

Meeting time is 10:00 AM but please come early to sign up for all the activities the committee chairs have worked so diligently to secure for us.

Meeting is at Trinity United Methodist Church 209 E Nash St, Southport, NC 28461.
