Our speaker for March will be Jean Warneke, the co-owner of JB Journeys, a Texas based, woman-owned travel company specializing in sustainable travel. Her talk will be about how to travel to Cuba now that travel restrictions have eased and what kind of opportunities there are for active travelers.

JB Journeys offers small group and individual travel arrangements to Central and South America as well as Africa and the Caribbean, mostly nature, culture and culinary themed. Their goal is that travelers have a fabulous and memorable vacation, and that it has a positive social, environmental, and economic impact on the places they visit.
