Mira Mesa Team Newsletter 12/13/11

Good morning, here is the news:

Team Meeting—Tuesday, 10 January, 6:00-7:00.  I don't have a room yet, hopefully I can line up several dates with the Senior Center.  We are always looking for meeting space in central Mira Mesa that we can use after hours, a space that can hold 10-15 people comfortably.  If you have any ideas, let me know, I will pursue anything that looks good.

DSW Cards—New Academy graduates, for your first card you need two Team Meetings and two Continuing Education (CE) credits.  We submit applications every two months on even numbered months.  If you think you qualify, drop me a note, we'll work up your application documents.  Members who need to renew, you need the two CE's and two team meetings in each of the two years your card is good for, and a refresher anytime in that two-year window.

Year 2012—I'm always up for ideas, if there is something you would like to see us do as a team in the coming year, let me know.

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

Mira Mesa Team Newsletter 12/7/11

Good morning, here is the news:

Team Meeting—This Saturday, 10 December.  The Glass residence at 10125 Baffin Drive, near Jade Coast and Camino Ruiz.  We will discuss utilities shutoff, and the basics of residential electrical and gas.  This is my first attempt at the subject, so let's call it a work in progress.  Meeting starts at 3:00pm, ends at 4:00pm. We'll most likely have it in the garage so we can go out to look at the sub-panel etc., and you probably noticed that it has been a bit CHILLY lately so plan accordingly.   Afterwards we'll adjourn to our palatial abode and  have some light refreshments. If it is convenient to bring a folding chair for the meeting, please do.

Refresher—We have a refresher scheduled for 21 January, 9:00am—1:00pm.  If you have a DSW card and have not taken one of these since you got it, please have a hard look at going to this.  A Refresher is also a really good idea if you think your basic skills have gotten a little rusty.  Sign up here:

Academy 27—Does not start until mid-February, and it is already 70% FULL.  If you know someone who wants to do this, please drop them a reminder and tell them it would be wise to get on it.  There is NO online signup, applicants must download the application here:

That's all for this week, Battalion News follows.  Be safe.
