Emergency Preparedness: Are You Ready? If a natural disaster or catastrophic event occurred and we were without our modern conveniences, do you have the equipment and knowledge needed to save your life? At the September 3rd Wednesday luncheon of the Tri-County Women's Connection, our Special Feature Jane Garcia from Blairsville will tell us all we need to know to survive. Jane was born and raised in Connecticut, but her job relocated her to Florida for over 30 years. A love of the North Georgia mountains convinced Jane and husband Dave to purchase property in 1985, build a home in 1986 and retire in 2000. Hiking the Appalachian Trail is one of Jane's favorite things to do and she's logged over 500 miles, encountering bears, rattlesnakes and other wildlife. Jane will be teaching us how to use outdoor and backpacking equipment for emergency preparedness. She'll share "how to" on water purification, preserving medications and much more. Since Jane is so well prepared, she has plenty of time for other interests: knitting, sewing, making greeting cards and lunching with her local Red Hat ladies. Jane always has time for her five grandkids and three great-grandkids. This Special Feature will be interesting and informative don't miss it! We are delighted to welcome Hope Horkavey from Hiawassee who will be our Music Guest and Speaker. A teacher who also sings professionally, Hope will entertain us with two songs. With her great sense of humor, we'll hear her story about "a shot in the dark" that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Where's the only place you can have a great lunch, fun conversation, prepare you for an emergency, be musically serenaded and hear a life-changing story? TRI-COUNTY WOMEN'S CONNECTION!!
