Corn Hole Tournament!

Have you ever played corn hole? It doesn’t matter because I guarantee once you have, you will want a set for yourself. And that is exactly what the Environmental Health Section is offering you – a chance to win your own corn hole board set! We are giving away 2 sets in fact! We will be hosting our corn hole tournament/fundraiser beginning at 5:00 pm on Wednesday September 27th at Yesterday's Spaces, location of the Snowden BBQ. The tournament will be double elimination which will allow you to play at least two games. The cost per team is $30 ($15 per person for a 2-person team). No matter what your skill level, we promise you will enjoy yourself while helping to support the Environmental Health Section of NCPHA. Our goal is to have 24-32 teams. Please register today!

These scholarships benefit graduate students, undergraduate students, associate students, children of members and recipients of the Robert Parker Leadership Scholarship. Pre-registration has closed, but walk-ons will be taken at the conference - $15/person.  The hike takes place on Wednesday, September 27 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm at Yesterdays Spaces, location of the Snowden BBQ.  The hike is sponsored by Chubb.

Pinched

The FEC Planning Committee is excited to offer a Poverty Simulation Workshop this year at the conference.  Entitled Pinched, the workshop 

 is a guided experience that exposes participants to some of the challenges faced by those living in poverty. During the simulation, participants will play the role of an individual whose family lives in poverty. “Families” must work together to take care of life’s daily responsibilities, provide basic necessities like food, shelter and care. The simulation is followed by a guided discussion where participants have a chance to reflect on their experience.  To read more about it, go to this informational flyer.  The workshop is free of charge but does require pre-registration. (offered as a selection on the FEC registration form).
Workshop date and times are Wednesday, September 27, 1:30 - 3:30  pm or 4:00 - 6:00 pm. - both sessions are full.  There will be no wait list.  Thank you.  

There are no refunds on cancellations after September 1 for either the full conference or any of the above workshops.  Thanks.
