2012 ASG Chapter Events
The 2012 ASG Chapter events will include fun activities strategically placed throughout the chapter areas. Special attention has been made to include several inexpensive adventures, things to do throughout the catchment area which will cut down on travel time and expense, tried and true activities that we all enjoyed in the past, a touch of the unexpected (surprise, surprise), and a national educator who really is spectacular!!! Several of us have taken a class with Rami Kim (national educator) at the conferences and have been completely amazed at her techniques. Please plan on joining us for fun, learning, and friendship.
