First Aid/CPR Training, March 10
The biannual First Aid/CPR class is ready to roll on Saturday morning, March 10. Our thanks to the members who either attend this class, or keep up their CPR and First Aid certification via other avenues, as their collective knowledge and skills silently help make everything we do go smoothly. It's an big investment of their time to make our activities safer for everyone who participates.
March Chapter Meeting Reminder: Monday, March 19
As we enjoy the warm-up of spring, our thoughts inevitably turn toward getting outside, getting in the woods and on the trail, and of course, our spring trail agenda. We'll lay the groundwork at our March meeting for the various workdays, hikes, and conferences coming up this spring. Although it's hard to believe, those dates will be upon us in an eye blink.
As ususal, our meeting will begin at 6 PM at the Chippewa Falls Library, on Central at Bay St, in downtown Chippewa Falls. Here's a map.
