"A Sojourn in Nepal with the Himalayan Rescue Association" is the title of a slide presentation and discussion by Roger and Caroline Moseley on February 3 at 7:30 p.m. in 101 McCormick Hall.
The Moseleys, with another physician and spouse, spent last fall as volunteers at the Himalayan Rescue Association aid post in Manang, Nepal. The aid post, located at 11,600 feet on the trekking route known as the Annapurna Circuit, serves the local population as well as Western trekkers.

The event, sponsored by the Office of Community and State Affairs, is free and open to the public.
