The two-day clinic is to be held at White County High School, located at 267 Allen Drive, Sparta, TN 38583. This clinic is in collaboration with the Bon Air Mountain Community Church.

RAM is also in need of general support volunteers to help set up on Friday, Oct. 20 and take down on Sunday, Oct. 22.
