Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter

Good morning, here is the news: Rescue Drill/Team Meeting—This counts as our Team Meeting for the month. If you have not RSVP'd yet, and want to go, please let me know by tomorrow (Wednesday) 4:00pm. I need to make final arrangements for equipment. Sunday, 10 June, Carmel Valley Recreation Center, 1:30—4:30pm. We'll be working with a variety of rescue techniques, generally divided into three sessions, Stabilization/Extraction/Removal, Transport and Rescue Knots. I'll have more on all this in the Battalion News. I hope to see you there. July Meeting— Tuesday, 10 July, 6—7pm in the Senior Center. I think we will try to get some of the people who made the triage CE to share their experience with the rest of us, so we all have some knowledge of the new system. If this comes up again at a later date as a CE, you can still take it for full credit, and I strongly recommend that you do. DSW Cards—I will turn this month's batch in on Thursday afternoon, so if you think you qualify for your first card or a renewal, and you have not contacted me about it yet, there is still time, but please do it today, the last minute thing wears on everybody. National Preparedness Month—This one is for your long range calendar. The Mira Mesa Street Fair is Saturday, 15 September. Last year we did VERY well recruiting at the Fair, many of our new Members signed up there (glad to have you folks). Obviously I'd like to repeat that experience, so please make a mark on your calendar for 15 September, and plan to join us for a few hours. There will be interactive demos again, I'm not sure what those will look like, but you can bet the dummy will get another workout. Also this year in National Preparedness Month we will once again be participating in the Memorial Stair Climb. That's on the Calendar for 8 September, at the Hilton Bay Front. It's a busy month for us, as there will be other things available for us during the month. Clearly I'll have more on these important events as we get closer to Fall, please keep the two dates in mind. All for this week, questions, comments, you know how to find me. -Steve
