The 2004 meeting was held in conjunction with the Tres Rios Nature Festival. Our meeting was held on Friday, March 12 at the Estrella Mountain Community College, at the Center for Teaching and Learning in Montezuma Hall, and was followed by the Nature Festival on the 13th and 14th at Estrella Mountain Regional Park. We helped with the field trips and the ARC booth at the festival.
