The Social Committee is thrilled to announce that our guest speaker will be Greg Grieco, Director of Operations at Appalachian Bear Rescue. ABR’s mission is to rehabilitate orphaned and injured black bear cubs and yearlings, educate communities about how to live responsibly with black bears, and perform research that helps bears be successfully returned to the wild.
