John Clayton Chapter Celebrates Birthday!

The John Clayton Chapter celebrated its 22 birthday during its Annual Meeting and Potluck held at the Freight Shed in Yorktown on September 21, 2006. Guest speaker Teta Kain, also known as the 'Queen of the Dragon,' gave a presentation of the plants and animals of Dragon Run, a river located on the Middle Peninsula. Kain leads kayak expeditions along the river and notes that spring and fall are particularly good times to visit the Dragon. Guided expeditions fill up quickly, so register far in advance. Two student scholarship recipients and participants in Nature Camp, Cody Adams and Victoria Respess, gave presentations of their camp experiences from this summer.
