Please arrive on time so upfront administrative details can be
handled and announcements made, allowing the course content to
start at 7:00 p.m. Adding a "Will Attend" log to this page will
assure enough hard copy handouts are printed for the event
participants. Also, please bring your favorite nonalcoholic
beverage and favorite dessert to share with your fellow
cachers.
There will be a free-will offering cache container at the event
to help defray the costs of hosting these FUNdamentals events.
Learn about what you will find in a cache, ranging from swag
(trade items) to travelers (geocoins, travel bugs), to signature
items, and what to do with them. The event will be hosted in
Anchorage and transmitted to remote locations in Homer, Wasilla,
Valdez, and Soldotna via WebEx. Please place a watch on this
event page to stay appraised of the final details. If you
would like to host this presentation elsewhere in Alaska, please
contact Education Committee Chair, Paul
Miller.
