I am a newcomer to TN, and was active with the Miami Blue Chapter in FL. I
would have attended your count, if I had known! Our Miami Chapter was
responsible for getting the Miami Blue on the endangered species list...a feat.
Can I please be informed of activities or if you hold meetings? I just now
joined the website. Thanks,
Mary Ruden: Seymour
