2026 ANNUAL MEETING
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026 from 10:00am to 12:00pm
Location: Cave Creek Recreational Park
Our annual meeting will take place at the Cave Creek Regional County Park visitor center on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 am to 12 pm. To get there, take 32nd St. north from the Carefree Highway. There is a $10 charge per car to enter the park. The FAFNM will cover the cost by providing coupons at the registration desk. The park is very scenic and offers nearby hiking trails, if you'd like to walk before the meeting and before it gets hot.
There will be presentations on cultural and natural resources, and a new partnership with organizations monitoring water quality in the Agua Fria River. The business meeting will include elections of officers and members of the board of directors. We welcome your suggestions for future events and activities for members.
We look forward to visiting with you. We will also try to offer a Zoom link, though this may be difficult due to connection issues. After the meeting, you can enjoy the many restaurants and shops in nearby Cave Creek.
