I have been honored by having been asked to speak at this upcomming winter safety event in Reno. If you are in the area this is a good way to get out and meet our kind of people. What I mean by our kind of people is the type to grab oppertunity and go enjoy the wonderful resources that we have available in this country. All are invited and I encourage you to support the Sierra Club in your area, and the conservation efforts that they make to keep our public lands open, clean, well managed and available for all of us to enjoy. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem!

We also welcome, GYSGT David Williams a survival instructor from the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Sonora, California. This is an informative discussion which will offer practical advice for backcountry safety and local resources for more training. An REI representative will have a display of winter gear to view and discuss. This event is open to the general public. Please join in the discussion and help us raise the awareness of winter safety in our local community.
Congratulations Dave! Hope you post your speech on here so all of us who can't be there can enjoy it. Love, Pamela Downer
