Chapter Meeting

Monday, September 25, 7:00 pm at the DW Wilson Community Center, 501 N. Collins Street, Tullahoma.

Our program speaker is TTA Scenic City Chapter Chair, Will Latham. About a year ago, the Scenic City Chapter hosted a 2-day professionally led trail safety and first aid course with a CPR certification option. While many topics in this program were targeted toward TTA hike leaders, the knowledge and training can be critical for any of us, even if we just take a short hike with a friend. Will Latham will present an overview of this interactive and engaging course, including suggestions that our Highland Rim Chapter can use in planning to offer this program, not only to our local members, but any interested TTA members and the community.

Before the meeting, at 5:30 pm, we will meet for dinner at La Fiesta Bar & Grill, 1410 N. Jackson Street, Tullahoma next to the Quality Inn.  Please contact Highland Rim Chapter Chair Patty Deen if you plan to attend dinner so I can confirm the number for our reservation. Contact Patty at pdeen@palomar.edu or 760-703-8115 for more information.

Monday, October 16, 7:00 pm at the DW Wilson Community Center, 501 N. Collins Street, Tullahoma. Our featured speaker is Highland Rim Chapter Member, Marietta Poteet. In 2022, five members of TTA walked the Cotswold Way. Marietta Poteet was the lead and will present a slideshow of their walk. The 110-mile-long Cotswold Way is a national trail that explores the quintessential English countryside beginning in the town of Chipping Campden and ending in Bath. Marietta will share some unusually exciting adventures of the groups’ walk through this beautiful green landscape of rolling farmland, quiet woods, picturesque villages all steeped in history.
