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:
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,
