Sedona AZ (October 2, 2017) – Please join The Sedona Women for our October 11^th program which will feature four local volunteers and one amazing dog who conduct search and rescue and recovery missions in the rugged terrain of Red Rock country. Technical rescues are considered dangerous for both civilians and rescuers. Knowledge, skill, dedication and bravery in the face of saving lives becomes monumental as time, weather conditions and other factors play a role in both rescue and recovery efforts. Hear amazing tales involving equipment such as helicopters, ropes and how water rescues differ from land rescues.

When: Wednesday, October 11, 2017
Where: The Creative Life Center, 333 Schnebly Hill Road Sedona, AZ 86336
Time: 10:00 AM until noon (Meet & Greet gathering at 9:30 AM)

Learn about these amazing men and women who volunteer their time. Peg Cook and Frank Wirkus are with Yavapai Search & Rescue. Cindy McArthur and her golden retriever, K9 Stretch volunteer with Coconino County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue. Lisa Callan conducts technical rescues in Coconino County and is Mountain Rescue Certified.

Open to the public, this presentation will captivate all and provide valuable information for staying safe while enjoying our diverse terrain.

The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
