Good morning, here is the news:
Hours for September—Please turn them in by this
Friday, 28 September, unless you are signed up for this Sunday's Hose Loading
class, then I will need your hours THAT NIGHT. If you volunteered for
Stair Climb, or took the first hose loading class, either is good for
Continuing Education credit, DO NOT forget to report those hours or you will
not get your CE credit. Yeah, I'm being just a little strident
here. These opportunities don't come down the pipe as often as any of us
would like, don't waste one.
Hose Loading—This class is now closed. Looks
like the temperature will spike on Friday, but still 86°. A decent hat is
a must, sunscreen, plenty of water, you know the drill. You will be
outside and actively doing things for most of the class. There is a LOT
to cover, so plan for it to run over by about 1/2 hour.
Refresher—The County Office of Emergency
Services (OES) is sponsoring a Refresher Saturday 10 November. No
details yet, this is just a calendar placeholder. If you just got your
first DSW card in the last few months, you should seriously consider taking
this Refresher. A Refresher is a complex undertaking, so they don't come
along very often. Count on this taking up most of the day. Although
the County is sponsoring it, you MUST sign up through our website:
For each two-year period starting from your graduation date,
you need one refresher to re-qualify for your DSW card. Any questions
about this, please drop me a note.
DSW applications—If you believe that you have
qualified for your first DSW card this month, or you are coming up for renewal,
drop me a note TODAY so we can start the process.
Team Meeting—In October the tenth falls on a
Wednesday. We've got the Senior Center scheduled, but we might move to
the rally point. Mark your calendars, I'll have more soon, promise.
Telephone Tree—We could use at least one more
volunteer for this, during a callout it would be your job to call about six
Team Members and accurately relay a message you would get from me or our
leadership. I'm going to update our rosters for this next week, so if
there have been any changes to your contact info in this last year please let
me know.
All for this week, questions, comments, you know how to find
me.
-Steve
