If you enjoy being outdoors in the fall and winter, want to encounter lost trails or trails slightly off the beaten paths, and share in good camaraderie, then Rambles 4.0 might be for you. We will venture out on a trail within 40 miles of Skowhegan once a month between October and March to enjoy the changing seasons. Due to diminishing winter daylight all outings will start in the early afternoon. Good walking shoes, warm winter boots, ice creepers, snowshoes, comfortable layered clothing, hats and mittens and a yen to explore are the essential elements needed. These hikes will be suitable for most outdoor active people.

Classes will meet on the second Tuesday of each month (dependent on the weather) and last about two hours.

There will be a short orientation meeting at SAHS on September 24. First ramble on Oct. 8.

In this one-night training, learn the essentials of recognizing respiratory and cardiac arrest and effectively beginning emergency treatment.  Participants will learn CPR and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). 

Students will need to pick up and review the BLS Provider Manual prior to class so that they are prepared for an open-book test at the end of the training.  

*Upon successful completion, participants will receive an AHA CPR certification & card.

Designed for students of all ages, this class provides a thorough understanding of how to effectively plan for the future, ensuring peace of mind and financial security. Discussion will include the key elements of estate planning, retirement planning, advance directives, various options and strategies to pay for long-term care, and how to pass your assets outside of the probate process. Attorney Nale will be available after class to answer any questions.
