Good Afternoon Everyone!!!

It’s drill time again!! We have a CERT class going on now and their final exam/drill will be on February 27, 2010. I need volunteers for victims!! I MUST know in advance if you plan on coming to be a victim! We will be limited on time to get the make up done, and I will be out of the office a good bit up through the drill date.

Volunteers will need to be at the 911 center at 10am on the 27th, and the drill should be over no later than 2:30pm. Wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and bloody.

Again, it is very important that I know in advance if you plan on volunteering! Feel free to email me or call me to sign up. I will be out of the office beginning on February 3rd and all responses and questions can be forwarded to Tamika Kendrick. You can still call my same office number and ask for her and if you email me, I will have an automatic reply on with her contact information as well.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have!!

THANKS!!!

Buzz, K3GWK, has checked out the hunting ground and found it it was filled with lots of bounty….  SCARC will hold a breakfast meeting on the way to Forsyth. Ryan’s Family Restaurant is open at the TA Truckstop, exit 201, I-75 (at GA-36).  The restaurant is located inside the truckstop building, enter and turn right.  It is across from the car gas pump area.  They have a breakfast buffet or you can order off the menu.  The GAPSTC is about 15 miles south. We will meet at 8 AM. It will be a good time to get together. It would give us time to eat, talk and get to the meeting site a little early.  Thanks Buzz – great Idea.

For all you interested in EMCOMM:
Please plan to attend the annual ARES Meeting in Forsyth at the Georgia Public Service Training Center on Saturday January 23.  Please note that the EC’s and others interested are also encouraged to attend the morning session at 10:00 AM as well as the afternoon session.  See agenda at <GAARES.ORG>.  If you have a relationship with your EMA, please invite him to attend with you, and mention that Director English from OHS/GEMA will make an important presentation.  If you don’t have a relationship with your EMA this is a good time to introduce yourself and bring him. CU there!
