Good news! We just got word this week that our club won a grant from the Illinois Geographic Alliance for geocaching supplies - a handheld GPS unit, and some other items for creating geocaches. Join us next semester as we plan some outreach events to the community to share the geocaching love...
Reminder for those helping with the GeoMentor program at the high school this Friday - we are having a meeting in Tillman 201 today at 5:30 to review the lesson we'll be using.
