Bird Seed Sale Pick-up (for orders placed by Feb. 13) takes place Saturday, Feb. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bird watching is more fun when you can attract them to your own yard, so fill your feeders with one of SLNC’s special mixes.

Day-off from School Camp takes place Monday, Feb. 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Why only have camp in the summer when you can do it in all seasons?
