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
