Mark are there still openings for this class? Do you have to be a current TCIA member to attend?

 

[Rocks_and_Trees]

I just attended the EHAP in Tucson taught by none other than Tom D who did an excellent job!
Great powerpoint, excellent presentation, and the "bad a$$ texas rabbit" was classic

Definately learned some stuff and good to have the EHAP training manual. (6 ceus too)
I really wanted to get off electricity and talk about climbing, srt, etc, but I guess it wasn't the time or place.

It was great to meet you Tom and thanks for being an arboriculture role-model, this industry is lucky to have you. I hope you don't judge AZ just from Tucson (it stinks down there) lol.

I saw a tree in Tuscon once
it was a mesquite though

I don't have any new info. Did you try to contact them as directed in the flyer? Or, maybe Tom can add something since he will be the presenter again?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

The only limits that there has been for other EHAPs is the size of the room. To me, 1 or 1,000...no difference.

Get registered, I'll have TB helmet stickers for anyone who wants them.

10-4 Tom, Sues parents are just up the street so we'll register and the 2 of us will see you there!! Looking foward to it!

 

[Kman]

Just got off the phone with Cheryl at TCIA, we're registered! See you on the 17th Tom. We'll be leaving for the Crane/Chipper workshop in about a half hour.

 

[Tom_Scheller]

I'll be there.

Just registered online for the New Brunswick seminar but the site requires a credit card for a zero dollar transaction. hmmmmmmmmm.....

 

[Tom Dunlap]

You have to pay for lunch, food isn't included in the OSHA grant that pays for the seminars.

 

[chris_girard]

I'm trying to schedule it in.

This is one class that I've been wanting to attend for awhile.

Thanks for posting the info.

I think I paid 16.50, for lunch I guess.

 

[JesseHuffman]

dude....you got screwed
lol
was it yummy?
thats insane in the membrain

 

[Rocks_and_Trees]

bbq beef in a paper bag...it was delicious! and a bargain compared to Disneyland

 

[Kman]

I think it was $13.50 a piece for lunch but you are getting the EHAP book for free which is around $85. without the class! Your getting about a $200. deal for free and only having to pay $13.50 for lunch so it's a pretty good bargain. Hopefully there will be more of these grants to help with more free seminars.

 

[chris_girard]

Hey Keith, where are you and Sue going to stay when you go for the class?

I am trying to find an affortable place for my wife and myself.

chris, im not going to the ehap class (i went last year and just recently re certified) but you are more than welcome to crash at my place, i have a guest room with a new bed, cable and what nots, i should warn you that its also my music studio so i have my fare share of instruments thrown ascew but nothing i cant move around, let me know if your interested, only problem is that you will be about 1 1/2 hours from my place, but a free place to rest might be worth the troubles
