February Update
Feb 3 2008, 10:00 AM EST
First off, congratulations to the Family Links AmeriCorps CERT class! We recently graduated over a dozen folks from the Basic CERT. Everyone had a great time, so thanks to all involved! Also, special thanks to our instructors: Anniston Fire Department, Harold Rhodes, Rick Freeman, Denise Rucker, Bill Schaubel, Jason Mullinax, Mikey Phillips, Buck Wade, and Debbie Blevins. Pictures coming soon!A few housekeeping items: Thursday, February 7, 7pm - ABC33/40 will be at the Anniston City Meeting Center with their Storm Alert 2008 program. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Tuesday Feb. 12 - Friday Feb. 15 - Radiological/nuclear awareness/operations training at EMA. See calendar for details if interested. February 17 - 22 - Alabama Severe Weather Awareness Week 2008. Tuesday, February 19, 6pm - Our February CERT meeting at the Cahoun County EMA. As always, everyone's invited to attend and to bring friends. Saturday, March 1 - Our friends from the National Weather Service in Birmingham will be providing an all-day storm spotter session for us with both Basic and Advanced Storm Spotter classes. We'll have some special speakers from JSU and the TV24 weather crew. See the Community Calendar (link at the top of this page) for more details. Note: If number of registrants increases, we might move the class to JSU. This will be a very valuable asset to CERT's, so let's hope for a big turnout! Wednesday, March 5 - Many Calhoun County agencies will be participating in the Anniston Community Exercise (ACE) '08 a.k.a. CSEPP exercise. If any CERT members are available, aren't already participating with anotether agency, and would like to play a part or observe the drill, please email myself or Debbie so that we can make arrangements. Remember that Community Awareness Day will be Saturday, April 19, at Oxford Lake. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
