Good morning, here is the News:
Team Meeting—Jennifer and I have talked, and unless
somebody really needs meeting this month to qualify for DSW, we're going to
pass on November. This meeting was originally scheduled for Thursday, 8
November to avoid another weekend meeting. I'm sure that at least some (I
hope a lot) of you are attending the Refresher the following Saturday as I
am. I will ask for input/interest level late in November about a December
meeting, we probably will do something since we're missing November.
Mira Mesa Town Council Meeting—Those of you who are
hooked up to the MMTC news probably noticed that CERT is giving a disaster
preparedness presentation at the next meeting and I imagine you wondered who is
actually doing this. I'm the lucky speaker as it turns out. I
understand that I'll have about 20 minutes of a 2-hour meeting, and that's if
the representative from SDPD doesn't show up to talk about the same thing and
goes too long. She/he will most likely be armed, so not much I can do
about that. I think you all know that I can do about 2 hours on
preparedness if I start talking right now, so it's a challenge for me to stay
under 20 minutes. If you have never been to a Town Council, it can
be really something. Here's the agenda for this one:
Yep, they really try to get all that done. They used
to try to keep it to an hour, but I think they gave up on that over year
ago. John Ly, Carl De Maio's very capable aide almost always shows up to
listen to enthusiastic complaints about shopping carts and such, and there are
always a few reports from our Supervisors or Representative's offices.
The volunteer groups rarely have much unless it is somehow a special month for
them. All in all it's a small town council grinding through a small
town's business, if you ever had an interest in local government it could be
pretty interesting. Starts at 7:00, and they tend to get going right on
time.
Refresher—If you believe you are signed up for the 10
November Refresher and you did NOT get an information email and ALSO a start
time email from Carie, contact me immediately. OK, some of you need to
look in your SPAM filter first (you know who you are, I know who you are), but
if you don't have those emails we have a problem that needs to be addressed
now.
Academy 28 Graduation—We are looking for volunteer
victims as well as Administrators for the graduation. The victims can be
family, friends, anybody willing to invest some time in our cause.
Administrators and Logistics Assistants need to be CERT. Starts early 3
November (Saturday). Carie did an awesome job summarizing what is needed
and what you need to do in her email on or around 19 October. I can't
improve on it any, so please go back and review it (I'll send you another copy
if you need one). We all know graduation is a giant undertaking and a
powerful learning experience for our new Candidates. It's quite different
being on the other side of this, if you have some time please consider giving
us a hand, it will be very much appreciated. Here's the link to sign up
as an Admin, for the Victims sign-up see Carie's email:
That's all this week, questions, comments.........
