We will be having lunch before we tour the museum as they do not open until 12:00 noon. You can go to the Lindsey web-site wildlifemuseum.org and get up to speed before we visit.

Our June 21st luncheon speaker is “Gary Bogue” whose present job is a daily newspaper columnist on pets, wildlife and environmental issues for Contra Costa Newspapers, Walnut Creek, for 36 years. Gary Bogue has served as Executive Director for Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), Walnut Creek. Museum Curator, Lindsay Wildlife Museum Walnut Creek (1967-1979), Gary pioneered and developed one of the first wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facilities in the country. He hand-raised and rehabilitated the first and only native mountain lions to ever be successfully returned to the wild, plus over 330 species of wild birds, and most species of mammals and reptiles in Western U.S.
