Good Morning Everyone!!

On August 22nd, Mercer University (satellite Campus in McDonough) has asked us to bring the 911 Mobile Command Vehicle out, as well as information on the CERT Program. As always we would love to have a couple of CERT Members come out and talk about the program. If anyone is interested in coming out please let me know. We only need a few people.

The time frame is from 9am to 3pm, and we can split it up anyway needed, so if you want to come just for a couple of hours that’s just fine. J

As always I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,

Christy Berry
