MONTHLY MEETING - OCT. 28, 2010
There was a good turnout for our Oct. 28. 2010 CERT Meeting at Town center. The focus of the meeting was our radio. Two experienced radio men on our team provided a thirty minute refresher course.
The pictures above show: Our members, an Instructor, and the Radio type used here in Veronwalk.
In addition we have pictured a tool used for removing "wing nuts" that hold storm shutters in place. They were donated by a local vendor.
