Methow Conservancy First Tuesday: Climbing Toward a True Self with Melissa Arnot Reid

[MethowConservancy]

Tuesday, December 2, 2025
7pm at the Barn (doors open at 6:30)
Free and open to the public

The Methow Conservancy is pleased to invite the community to our December First Tuesday and holiday gathering.

The evening will begin at 6:30pm with social time and a chance to connect with friends and neighbors. At 7pm we will present our annual conservation awards: the Susie Stephens Award for providing outstanding volunteer service to the Methow Conservancy, the You Inspire Us Award for inspiring others to care for the land, and the Ken White Award for carrying on the legacy of Methow Valley conservationist Ken White.

Next up will be a First Tuesday talk by acclaimed mountaineer, author, and Methow Valley resident Melissa Arnot Reid. In 2016 Melissa Arnot Reid became the first American woman to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen and survive the descent. It was a goal that took 9 seasons to complete. In her new book ENOUGH: Climbing Toward a True Self on Mount Everest, Melissa lifts the veil on what it truly took to accomplish a goal that big, and how that goal wasn’t even the biggest accomplishment of all. Join Melissa for an evening of visual storytelling from the great mountains of the world to the mountains inside of us all as she shares her journey and what it has taught her.

This event is the perfect way to celebrate another year of loving the land. More info at: https://methowconservancy.org/news/entry/first-tuesday-melissa-arnot-2025
