Red Cross Month

Citation

The American Red Cross serves many purposes, some being: collecting blood donations, disaster relief, military support and health and safety training and education.

Citation

Here at Span the Globe, we know the importance of knowing first aid and CPR. As avid geocachers and world travelers you are more likely to be in an unfamiliar place when you step wrong and twist your ankle or your friend over exerts themselves and starts having chest pains. You never know when tragedy will strike, but you can be prepared for how to handle it.

This is why we will be hosting an Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED class at our home office in Osseo, Wi on Saturday March 19th starting at 12 pm. There is room for 20 people to participate. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Register Now! 

If you are unable to join us for the class, you can still help the cause by donating HERE.

We are excited to announce we will be teaming up with our friends over at Duying for an Awakening Retreat Center for a veterans  weekend retreat.  The guys over at Duying for an Awakening specialize in working with veterans with PTSD and us at Span the Globe know how much connecting with nature, going for a hike or geocaching helps relieve stress. So we are putting our heads together to to offer a special weekend just for veterans. 

Citation

You will start Saturday morning with a session with the staff of Duying for an Awakening on stress relief, PTSD healing and meditation. In the afternoon I am sending over a couple of my master geocachers to give an introduction to geocaching and safe hiking and camping. On Sunday, the group will put what they learned on Saturday to use. We will find some easier geocaches and then set out on a hike to find an earth cache. Once we get to the cache the Duying for an Awakening staff will lead a group meditation session.
