Dragonflies, and their smaller cousins the damselflies, re-appear in VT in May and June. Some migrate in from the south. Others emerge from wetlands after one to several years of maturation as under-water predators. Naturalist Laurie DiCesare will share macro photos, a bit of biology and field stories about these amazing aerial experts. She’ll also suggest where and when to search for them and how to gently catch-and-release them with a photo op to document your finds on iNaturalist.

This American version of Mah Jongg will start with a simplified game where players, pick up, discard and trade tiles to form an easy winning hand. Over the course of 4 weeks, we'll slowly add more tiles, increase the complexity of the winning hands (using National Mah Jongg League cards) and will talk about defense and sleuthing. Mah Jongg players enjoy bluffing, learn flexibility, and generally have a lot of fun. If you like card games, you'll probably love Mah Jongg. This class will meet inside CVU.
