Desert Rivers meetings are held every second Tuesday of the month, September through May each year, at the Gilbert Community Center located at Page Park- 132 E. Bruce Ave, Gilbert. Bruce is just north of Elliot Rd, and the park is one block west of Gilbert Rd. We meet in the new community center in the large hall/dining room from 7 to 9PM. Enter straight ahead on Bruce and park to the right near the Community Center. Doors open at 6:30, and you’re invited to come enjoy some refreshments and meet other members beforehand.
Speakers present presentations on various topics of interest and concern to chapter members. We host an annual meeting with Liberty Wildlife at which many raptors are displayed with expert teaching.
