The Coastal Dune Lakes of Walton County Presentation – May 18 -11:00 AM
Come and join the Coastal Seniors of South Walton for our May get together on Tuesday, May 18th at 11:00 AM at our office located at 70 Logan Lane, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459. Walton County’s Melinda Gates, environmental coordinator, and Jenna Kilpatrick from the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance will talk about the dune lakes in Walton County, estimated to be more than 10,000 years old. Most of the lakes are shallow, with an average of around five feet deep, but perhaps what is most interesting about them is the keystone role they play in this coastal paradise. A light lunch will be available. Information will also be shared about our “Fridays with Friends” program, which is held every other Friday beginning May 14th. Each “Fridays with Friends” program will be open from 10 AM until noon. Coastal Seniors will welcome members, who are 50 years and older, to our office to participate in activities, such as: card games, board games, ping pong, bingo, art classes, exercise classes, etc. If you are interested in any of these activities, please let us know so that our volunteers can prepare.
