Meeting Notes March 9, 2010

This month’s program featured Mike Chelewski of Care Trak and Wildlife Materials, two partner companies in Murphysboro. Mike gave us a wide ranging talk about their locating products, both for Alzheimer’s patients and for wildlife.

He said that Care Trak has logged over 3,000 rescues nationwide and their products are used in over 43 countries.
