The July 21. 2018 Chapter meeting will be held at the Fayette County Agrilife Building in La Grange.
Chapter Business Meeting begins at 9 am and AT training begins at 11 a.m.
The AT session, which will run from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., is free and open to the public so bring a guest! July’s speaker is Connie Barron, a registered nurse, who will present “Be Prepared: First Aid for Hike Leaders”. Connie has been a Master Naturalist in the Texas Hill Country since 2009. As a nurse, she realized that leading hikes with inexperienced groups can require some simple first-aid. Connie created a program to help other naturalists “be prepared” for those incidents that can happen on the trail. Come learn what to pack and how to use it should someone in your group require first-aid assistance.
Following the AT session, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., our own Lori Buffum will preview the session she will present at the TMN Annual Meeting in Georgetown titled “BINGO! Engaging Kids with Nature When You’re Stuck Inside”. Members attending the presentation earn an additional volunteer hour.
