Notice of Bylaws Adoption Vote
Notice of Bylaws Adoption Vote: The Chapter membership will be asked to vote at the February 23 meeting to approve a revised form of Chapter Bylaws. The State office for the Texas Master Naturalist Program requires that the Bylaws be adopted verbatim by each Chapter except for two options:
we may attach an addendum governing conflicts of interest if we are a 501(c)(3) organization, and we may we may chose a term of office of one year or two years for our officers and directors. Consistent with past practices we have adopted the Addendum and we have opted for a one-year term of office.
The final form of the revised Bylaws is posted on our website here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bb3Zkjnl485_lwm7TfSvr8JzqveaAFqs/view

Chapter AT: Speaker Information
This presentation will describe how a river works and how it heals itself after a major disturbance such as the July 4 floods.
Riverside landowners can either help or hinder the recovery process depending on how they manage the vegetation and large woody debris after a major flood.
The presentation will emphasize the importance of restoring strong stabilizing native vegetation which promote the recovery process.
