Your SaddleBrooke/Saddlebrooke Master Gardeners are pleased to bring Ben Wilder, the Director of the Desert Lab at Tumumoc Hill to our Thursday 19 November online program at 1 PM. A unique combination of science and culture, Tumamoc Hill is an 860-acre ecological preserve in the heart of Tucson. Its innovative, sustained, long-term environmental studies and over 2,500 years of cultural history have made it a US National Historical Landmark. The Desert Laboratory was founded to answer the fundamental question: how does life cope with aridity? In the twenty-first century, increasing drought and heat in many parts of the globe have transformed this basic scientific question into an urgent challenge facing humanity. Today, the Lab’s legacy collections, data sets, and resources will be incorporated into projects that pivot on a forward-looking version of the original guiding question of the Desert Lab.

You will receive a confirmation with instructions on how to join the meeting. For questions about registration please contact Laurie McCoy at lmccoy1@email.arizona.edu | ||

SaddleBrooke’s Discussion Group for Better Hearing WHO WE ARE: SaddleBrooke residents who recognize the need in our community for a caring place of support and education for those currently experiencing hearing loss or those beginning to research this topic for themselves or a loved one. Over the past year, the group has provided Saddlebrooke’s first Hearing Night Out, featuring Dr. Faredh Barakat from the University of Arizona Audiology Clinic. Discussions have been held on many subjects including how to have a hearing issue diagnosed, how to consider the purchase of hearing aids, and the emotional aspects of hearing loss for individuals and their families. WHAT WE DO: We meet monthly for information sharing and education. Starting in fall 2020, due to the Pandemic, these meetings will be held on Zoom. In addition to our monthly topic, there is always open time for one-on-one conversation and information sharing. We submit articles for SaddleBrooke newspapers covering hearing loss topics, personal testimonials, and announcing upcoming events. And finally, we advocate for better technical support in SaddleBrooke facilities for those living with hearing loss. WHAT WE ARE NOT : Our group is NOT a referral center for audiologists or other medical care. This group is not a club, there are no dues. Everyone is welcome. WHEN/WHERE DO WE MEET?: We meet the second Thursday monthly, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM. Currently, we are meeting on Zoom. In the future, we hope to meet at a meeting room in Mountain View once again. Time and room may vary due to room availability, so check the newspapers or attend a session and give us your email address for updates. QUESTIONS: Please contact Jennifer Jefferis, at jenjefferis4u@gmail.com , (360) 909-6212 or Maria Menconi, at marialmenconi@gmail.com. | ||
