MONTHLY MEETING: MAY 27, 2010

Our team had a unique meeting on May 27Th.

Since our Town Center was not available due to water damage, we held our meeting outside at 4:00 PM. The Team met inside the Gazebo by the Tennis Courts.

We greeted three new members and had a brief discussion on the subjects of: The Fire Wise Program, Radio Protocol, Our documentation of the Pipe Break at Town Center, Our need for re- certification in CPR and AED, and Scheduling our next meeting.

Below are pictures of our new members and candid pictures of team members at meeting.

CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE: MEETING CHANGES

Our May 27 meeting will now be at 4:00 PM It will be located outside and to the rear of Town Center in the Gazebo.

CERT TEAM DOCUMENTS FLOOD AT TOWN CENTER

When Town Center had the misfortune of a water leak Monday Night (May 17) a Team Member was on the scene and gave a helping hand by documenting the damage. This work has been shared with management and the private business owners for insurance purposes.

CERT also secured valuable photos on the next two days after the incident to show the restoration process. These pictures were included in the documentation given to our Manager, and business owners.

The pictures above are exterior views only. The interior shots are being reserved for Town Center Management and the private vendors.

The First three are of the East Naples Fire Equipment that responded; the Fourth is the "Day After" and reflects the "Town Center Closed Notice" on the door, and the last two pictures are on Wednesday. They reveal part of the restoration equipment. Enjoy them.

CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE: MEETING UPDATE

As many of you already know our Town Center experienced a broken air conditioning line on the roof last night creating a flooded building. Our Town Manager came in last night, and has a vendor is working on water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, & mold prevention.

If we cannot utilize the building for next weeks meeting (5/27) we will have an alternate location available. At this time we are not certain if our team lost any of its limited equipment. Please check your email frequently.
