Dear NCAMN

 

Below are some Continuing Education programs for you check out.  Remember, you will need 8 hours of Continuing Education yearly to be certified. 

 

Some of these are repeats from last week. 

 

I will be sending these out weekly.  Let me know if there are events that I have missed.

Here is my favorite event

Saturday, November 15, from 10:00 a.m. until noon, the NCAMN Book Club will meet at the Baxter Library in Mountain Home for the last time this year. Members will discuss The Secret Lives Of Bats: My Adventures with the World's Most Misunderstood Mammals by Merlin Tuttle and Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America by Leila Philip. In order to participate, you need read only one of the month’s choices. 

In addition to that discussion, members will be making selections for 2026 which starts in January. There are so many wonderful books waiting to enlighten and educate. Please join us to decide what we’ll read next year. Sign up on the NCAMN calendar. This counts as two hours of continuing education.
