2024 Ranger Outings: A Year in Review
Online Streaming via WebEx ONLY
Streaming at 7:00 PM: https://asq.webex.com/asq/j.php?MTID=m1006e429b51aec9e6d380daaf2fd1557
Conducted by Ken Rapuano
ASQ Section 0511 Chair
Short Description:
In 2024, ASQ Section 5011 offered three Ranger Outings: Gadsby s Tavern Museum in February, The Filene Center at Wolf Trap in April, and Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in October. Each of those Ranger Outings had a highly knowledgeable Ranger as a Guide. All three were followed by a Networking Lunch, and one had additional optional events. Many pictures were taken at all parts of those events, with the best ones to show and tell about!
Our Section Chair, Ken Rapuano, will perform our annual review of all of the 2024 Ranger Outings. He will present both the organizational and educational aspects of those events and will illustrate them with plenty of pictures and historical facts. Those who attended those events will have a chance to briefly voice their recollections.
This Program is a unique event, the next best thing you can do to actually being with us at any of those Ranger Outings. And some of us attended all three!
As a bonus, we hope Ken s Presentation "2024 Ranger Outings: A Year in Review" will inspire you to join us in person at our Section's future Ranger Outings and, perhaps, even to help organize them!
