Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter

Hello July,

Hours Due -- Please turn in hours by end of today. For each activity, please list Date, Name of activity, and Time/duration for it. Red Cross/AHA First Aid/CPR class, and initial HAM radio certification class, are also good for CE credits. Reminder, writing, "I saw you at that CE that day" is NOT reporting hours.

July 4th County Fair Parade -- Every so often outside agencies ask for help from CERT members. This is one of them.

July 4th Hometown Heroes Parade at the San Diego County Fair

They need people to deploy large USA flag and may be carry other flags, too, during the ceremonies in the evening. CERT members will wear their vest and helmet during the time. The rest of the day is free fair time for you and your family. They offer up to 4 tickets per participant. You will receive CERT Volunteer Hours for your time.

Contact info:

Mitch Mendler
(619) 944-7011

Please contact Mitch directly to RSVP as he will give you the event details and how to get your fair tickets.

If you are interested in helping out at the Parade, please contact Wayne at (760) 270-7455 instead, no email.

You will be asked to be at the O'Brien gate at 9 am (the front main gate) for the Fair's Opening Ceremony. So time your parking/shuttling/security checking time accordingly.

Then they'll like you to be near the Arena Gate (by the Hero's Memorial, #30 Purple on the map) at 5:30 pm to bring the flag to Grand Stand.

Things are changing on their end too as they might have other activities planned.
But this is the latest I've received on it. Sorry on the confusion.

Thanks,
JenT
