Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter 2/13/2013


Good morning, here is the News:

St. Patrick's Day Parade—Every year CERT is invited to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade, right behind our Firefighters, who are right behind the bagpipe band at the front of the parade.  You may not know that pretty much every formal SDF&R event involves bagpipes, indoors or out, it's a very old tradition.  We are also invited to breakfast before the event at the Firehouse Museum downtown.  It's a lot of fun, firefighters from all over the County come to the breakfast.  This year the event is being held Saturday, 16 March, the day before St. Patrick's Day.  We don't have a lot of detail on it yet, if you plan to go, please mark your calendar, we'll have links to register for the breakfast etc. as we get closer to the event.



Team Meeting—Monday, March 11, starting at 6:00.  This is our annual FRS radio drill.  What happens is anybody's guess, several years we had great performance from the radios, last year it was awful.   This is an excellent chance to drag out that radio and actually use it.  If you don't have a radio, no problem, let us know and we'll get you one.  More details as we get closer to the event, this one looks a little complicated, but it's actually pretty easy to run.  This is the day after Daylight Saving Time begins, so we'll have good light later in the evening.  See you there.



That's all for this week, questions or comments contact Jennifer at zhinan@gmail.com
