Hi all - Just a reminder about next weeks meeting. I heard from some people after last weeks meeting about your interest in taking the “train the trainer” class. If anyone else is interested please let me know. This time of year was going to be tough to get a class together so we’ll try to get one planned for 1st qtr of next year. Our speaker at this months meeting will be:

Patty Moore
NC CERT Program Manager
NC Division of Emergency Management

Would love to have a good turn out.
See ya Wednesday! Sharon

CERT Training Graduation on 10-27-09

Hello all again - Next Tuesday 10/27 is the next graduation of the newest CERT team members. It will be 6:30 pm at the Town Hall at the beginning of the Town Council meeting. For past members please join us that night to show your support and some refreshments afterwards at station #1.

Also, this is IMPORTANT for anyone who has not yet gotten their CERT Id badge. From 5:30 to 6 that same night 10/27, Jay Seuss is making himself available to take your individual pictures and will try and make the badges immediately afterwards so you can have them that night before we leave Town Hall.

CERT Monthly Meeting Wednesday AUGUST 19TH

To stay active we try and include some type of speaker or training at the meetings (won’t be every time but will do our best). This month we will have Chief Cates giving us a class on Bloodborne Pathogens. This is an important class that we should take once a year to keep up to date on anything new.

Also, KC (Gary’s daughter) is still on record as the CERT secretary. This year since she had been very busy with finishing high school and getting ready to go off to college Rose and I have been filling in. Since she will be leaving for college we need to vote in a replacement. Please bring to the meeting any nominations you may have (including yourself) and as long as we have an appropriate quorom we will be able to vote in an official replacement.

Next I wanted to remind everyone of the Fall trash sweep on Saturday August 15th. Please make sure that if you signed up to help and can’t make it let Stefanie Reed (jeffandstef@gmail.com) know. She has taken on the lead of this project.

Finally, our next CERT training will be a long weekend event starting Friday Sept. 18th through Sunday the 20th. We could really use volunteers to help out during these classes.. So check out your calendars and be prepared to let us know if you will be available.

The final exercise for this class will be Saturday morning the 26th and we can’t stress enough how important it is to have as many current CERT members be part of this exercise alongside the new graduating members. It’s a great refresher each time you do it because if you don’t use it you tend to lose it.. We want to continue to see our team get stronger and larger so that we can truly make a difference in our community and show how much we appreciate the support the Town of Morrisville and the members of the Fire Dept. have given us over the last year..

Thanks so much y’all!!

Sharon
