Fun Facts About Denver, CO
|
|
* Don't forget to pack your coat. And maybe shorts as well. Denver weather in November is a mix of mild and winter, averaging three days with temps in the 70s and another three days never rising above freezing. We'd like to promise you 70s for the conference, but where is the adventure in that?
* Nederland, CO, a mere hour away from Denver, is home to Bredo Morstol, who has been frozen cryogenically for decades. The "Frozen Dead Guy Days" festival is in his honor and features several events, including the famous coffin races.

TIME TO CELEBRATE! PATH Intl. Member of the Month
|
|
 Today we introduce you to the first of two PATH Intl. members of the month for August, Audrey Adamson!
Audrey Adamson's name might be familiar to PATH Intl. members living in the southeast as she is the PATH Intl. Region 5 membership outreach committee representative. Region 5 encompasses Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, Africa and the Caribbean Islands.
 Audrey first joined PATH Intl. in 2001 (then NARHA). She was doing her internships in both psychology and nonprofit management at a local nonprofit center. She fell in love with the kids and the horses, saying, "It was almost magical to see the change the horses helped the riders with."
