Cheney-Spokane Chapter Member Appreciation Picnic & Hikes

Members and Friends of the IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter are invited to a picnic where you can meet and network with others interested in the Floods Story. Also you can have an opportunity to ask several geologists questions about The Floods, meet Board members and learn more about the Chapter, go on a short hike in Dishman Hills after lunch, and have some fun while you learn more about where you live, work and play.  Your immediate family is invited, too, and you can also bring potential new members.  Be sure to RSVP!

Camp Caro Lodge is the gem of Spokane Valley and a part of the Camp Caro Community Park.  It borders the Dishman Hills Natural Area and offers 360 degrees of panoramic views. There is a well-maintained lawn that borders the bluffs of Dishman Hills and there is plenty of parking!

• Bring your own lunches, fruit and chips.  The Chapter will provide a variety of beverages, cookies, desserts, and plates, utensils, cups, and crushed ice.
• Bring your Floods questions written on a strip of paper for drawings with special prizes!  Some games will be available on the grass lawn.

Please RSVP to iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com for all individuals attending in your party. Let us know as quickly as you can so that there will be adequate items available for a successful gathering of “flood enthusiasts!”

A word about the hikes:

The geologic hikes will start at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and are free. We will meet at Camp Caro lower parking lot off of Appleway Boulevard. Geology tour guides will explain and show how the giant floods of the Ice Age sculpted the land in the Dishman Hills. The 1 p.m. hike will be a bit shorter, and the hike beginning at 3 p.m. will be a bit longer and more involved. Bring a picnic lunch at noon to meet members of the local chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute at Camp Caro Lodge and check out displays with lots of free information. Questions?
