MEETING - JULY 16

The regular meeting on July 16 was held at Town Center. Those present participated in training to reinforce their skills with various types of bandages, dressings, slings and splints.

This was a one hour session that addressed various injury scenarios. We had a good deal of fun during the training, while also making ourselves ready, in the event of an emergency, to help our neighbors.

CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE

All team members are urged to attend our radio training session on Saturday, July 11 at 8:30 A.M. in the Town Centers Napoli Room.

We'll go over basics in the Napoli Room, then move outdoors to use the radios, get familiar with them, and learn a few techniques such as relaying messages. Not only will this session be informative, I think it will also be fun.

You do not need to bring all your CERT gear, but Id suggest wearing your shirt and vest, wear a hat not a visor, bring bottled water, and use sun block. Shorts, sandals are OK, just be comfortable and protect yourself from the strong Florida sun.

Our next scheduled meeting will be on Thursday July 16, at 7:00 P.M. in the Town Center. We will discuss and practice bandaging, splits and basic first aid.
