Mira Mesa Team Newsletter


Good morning, here is the news:

Team Meeting—No formal meeting next month, the Street Fair will count as a Team Meeting for anyone who wants to attend.

Street Fair— Saturday, 17 September, 10:00am—5pm. I think we have six signed up so far.  Next week I will have a demo schedule put together, we'll start putting people in slots at that time.  I'm sure we'll have some basic rescue/transport.  After the exercise with USAR, I realize that we don't work much on actually securing a patient to a backboard/litter so they don't fall off/out, so we'll do some of that.  Also we'll have the infamous knot-tying class, and this time I will successfully execute a Carrick Bend.  We'll do wound care also if we can get the materials, but I think we'll not bring out any moulage, great idea, but I'd want to make that the focus of some event if we go to the effort.  Cribbing if we can get that many people at one time, we'll see.  Needs at least five and that's a lot to invest in one slot.  Your thoughts on this are welcome.  I'm going to open this up to the rest of the Battalion in the Battalion News today, we'll see who we can get from the other Teams.

Scripps Ranch Cribbing Drill—Scripps Ranch Team has graciously invited us to participate in their cribbing exercise Tuesday 27 September, 7:00pm in the Scripps Ranch Library (note we're talking September, not this Saturday).  If you want to go, let me know, I'm putting this out in that Battalion News also.

That's all for this week, questions, comments, you know how to find me.
