A Happy Occasion and Good News:
On February 7, 2015, we joined National Forest Service personnel and many other professional or private friends/associates of Scott Wood at his retirement party in Mesa, Az. Scott was the Tonto National Forest Archaeologist for 40 years and long time archaeologist working with Desert Foothill Chapter. He has guided us, taught us, and participated with us on many adventures always giving willingly of his time. The best news is Scott's new position creating "Friend's of the Tonto National Forest" 501-C3 and continuing his association with the AAS Desert Foothills Chapter means that we continue our long association with him.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Field trips, workshops, classes, and special extended activities are open to AAS members only. This type of activity often requires a signed AAS-DFC Liability Release Form.

ZOOM VIRTUAL MEETINGS
Zoom Virtual Meetings were intended to temporarily replace "face-to-face" meetings as we continued our national struggle against the corona virus situation. Once we were able to conduct "face-to-face" activities safely again, our normal monthly meetings and other activities returned. Zoom Virtual Meetings represent a viable method to conduct a safe alternative to in person meetings with speakers and topics not normally available to the chapter. Note: With the return of our face-to-face meetings, Zoom Virtual Meeting days may occur on any day of the month and have alternative start times. ALSO, we may provide multiple Zoom Talks some months.
SPECIAL NOTE: Our chapter President picked up the Zoom challenge becoming our expert and provider for all Zoom activities.
