Good morning, here is the news:
NIMs Certificates—I think I have tried to correspond with all of you who have not finished these yet. It seems like most of us are in pretty good shape. You will need to send me five certificates, all dated on or before this Saturday, 21 January 2012. In the days following this next Saturday, our Program Manager will direct me to drop anyone who has not finished from our roster. I will not have any choice in this, there it is. Put on a kick folks, we are a small but mighty team, and we can't afford to lose anybody. Those of you who graduated Academy in this last year have a bit more time, but please don't let it creep up on you. get started now if you have not already.
Team Meeting—Thursday, 9 February, at the Senior Center pending their approval of my request. The sharp-eyed continuity checkers in our group will have noticed that this is NOT the tenth, our traditional meeting day each month. I do want to stay with the tenth when we can, but on those occasions where I think we will have weak turnout because of the day the tenth falls on, either due to a holiday or yet another weekend, I will move it. I am working on our calendar for the entire year, which I hope to present to you soon. We will have meeting dates, reserved places to have those meetings, and planned activities for the majority of our meetings. For the February meeting, we will move back one day to avoid the Friday. We'll go for wound care review if I can get the training module. Since we have an academy coming up, it won't be as easy as last time to get the module, but we should be able to work something out.
St. Patrick's Day Parade—I wanted to get this on your respective calendars. This is a real hoot, we march just behind our Fireman and the bagpipe band at the front of the parade. I wish I'd done a count, I think there were well over 100 firemen last year. We were not as well represented, and this year I'm joining our other Team Leaders in doing something about that. Saint Patrick's Day is actually on a Saturday this year, it will be a great time, please plan to join us. There is more information on the Parade here:
I will have much more information as we get closer to the date.
That's all for this week, Battalion News follows. Questions, comments, you know how to find me.
-Steve
