Meeting Schedule for 2009/2010
The Washington Conservation Guild holds meetings from October through May each year, usually on the first Thursday of the month from approximately 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Most meetings are held at metro-accessible cultural institutions in the D.C. area. Meetings usually consist of a social hour (with hors d'oeuvres and drinks) followed by an illustrated lecture or tour of interest to conservation professionals. Meetings are free of charge to members, $5 for non-members (when charging is permitted by the venue). Members and non-members partaking of the hors d'oeuvres and drinks are asked to put donation in the jar.
