Team Meeting— NO TEAM MEETING this Friday. Next month the tenth falls on a Sunday, if you missed the cribbing training we had last July and want to do it, or you did it in July and want to repeat, let me know. We can do the exercise again, but I need to plan for it.

New Feature on Web Site—The registration search now pulls up all classes you are signed up for, all classes where you are wait listed, and recent classes you took. To try it out, go to:
Click the registration search key (it's in the sentence right under the page headline) and type in the email address you use for registration. Note that this history CANNOT be used in place of your own record keeping, as it is only a record of the classes you registered for, and does not indicate whether or not you attended. If it helps you to remember a date, fine, but you are still responsible for reporting your hours every month to your Team Leader.

Scheduled for 20 September, 6—8pm down at NTC. This is a TEAM MEETING, not a CE. Firefighter/Paramedic Chuck DeLao will present the Safe Return program to us.

The program provides family notification services and coordinates the dissemination of vital information to first responders. In an emergency situation, CERT may be involved in the search for people who may have Alzheimer's. Mr. DeLao will provide details of the program and information that will help us work with victims who may have Alzheimer's. No sign-up on the web site for this, as it is a team meeting, but there is a meeting notice, go to:

You can sign up for this now on the web site:
