Magnolia Chapter FNPS

We hope that everyone is adapting well to the current challenge of doing everything we can to stay safe and reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. In that spirit, all Magnolia Chapter sponsored events are officially cancelled until further notice. This includes all previously scheduled meetings, workdays, and exhibits. We wish you all the best as we explore ways to reduce stress and enjoy nature from the safety of our homes and yards. Please stay well!
