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.

CPR & AED TRAINING

Our team held its' regular monthly meeting on Thursday, Sep.23.

The meeting started earlier than usual as special training was on the agenda. The night was devoted to getting our Verona Walk Volunteers re-certified in C.P.R. and the operation of our A.E.D. kits.

As the pictures reveal this was a well organized session with a hands on approach. Team members were observed during several trial practices, and ultimately demonstrated the skill level required for certification.
