Yesterday the beavers made an appearance at the Rotary Club in Pleasant Hill. Seems one of their members had attended my talk at Kiwanis and spread the word that it was worth inviting me. I was especially happy to be asked because the president elect works for the Parks & Rec department and I wanted to spread a little beaver gospel in case they get lucky some day. The talk went well. There were the usual questions about when to come see the beavers, lots of oohs and ahhs about their size, and a few recognitions from Heidi’s high school days. I was only rankled at the end when one rotarian pooh-bah asked me smartly “how many mink it took to make a coat”.His question was so startling after such warm animal images of baby mink I just shook my head.
I should have said, “Wow! Thank goodness I didn’t do a talk on toddlers!”
Moraga Rotary in February and City Council for Tile Bridge Project Wednesday. Looks like we have five volunteers from the Environmental Studies Academy. Hurray for Beavers. See you there!
