Mira Mesa Team Newsletter 10/26/10

*****MIRA MESA*******

Team Meeting—10 November, 5:30-6:30 at my house, 10125 Baffin Drive (near Jade Coast and Camino Ruiz).  Good one this time, it turns out that our own Bradley Buffett is a Sierra Club veteran and an expert on packing a backpack.  Yes, there is a right and wrong way to do this, and doing it right can make all the difference when you deploy.  Bring your own pack loaded for deployment, and your callout bag if you keep one ready to go, wearing PPE is not required.  Also, if you have a small folding chair and can bring it, we're always a little short.  If Bradley doesn't take up the whole time slot, I'll bring everyone outside for a little utility shutoff review.  This will be a good meeting, we look forward to seeing you there.

Opt-In Addresses—Thanks to all who contacted me with your preferences.  If you have not indicated yet whether or not you want your street address shared with the Team, please do so by reply email.

Academy 25 Final Drill—We need some victims!  We're still way short on sign-ups for this.  Saturday, November 6, 7:00am—12:30pm at the NTC.  Children as young as 12 can participate with a parent/guardian present.  In the past they have done some really nasty makeup, this is a fun activity for a truly worthy cause.  I'll be there snapping a few pictures, and I'll be happy to size and send one to anyone who sends me an email.   Oh, and we still need some volunteers for administration also.  Go here to sign up for either activity:


Academy is our lifeblood, let's support it.

Occasional Rant: Cool rain in October, yeah, you bet we love it.  Really knocks the fire danger down.  But let's all remember we aren't out of this yet, traditionally not until way into November.  So stay ready.

That's all for this week, questions, comments, talk to your Team Leader, communication is our best friend.
