· NEW! Fun Event —
Geocaching

Get exercise, try something new,
and have fun at the same time!
The University of Minnesota School
of Nursing is coordinating a Geocaching event to benefit the MNRS
Foundation. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played
throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices.
Local planning committee members
Madeleine Kerr, Cathy Morrison, and Scott Harpin are organizing a team of
geocaching guides with their GPS devices to share the sport with you.
To begin, sign up for one of the
geocaching sessions online
or by phone (720.898.4831) through MNRS. The registration fee to
participate is $25. You can sign up for Friday, March 27th 5:30pm to
6:30pm, or Saturday, March 28th 5:30pm to 6:30pm. You will also need to
register for a free account at www.geocaching.com.
In addition to traditional caches
in Minneapolis, we will offer some MNRS-specific event caches. You and your
fellow seekers will find prizes to be proudly displayed at the Saturday
evening gala FUNdraiser. Join in the fun and help build the MNRS Foundation
capacity to fund even more researchers!
