CERT Monthly Meeting Wednesday AUGUST 19TH

To stay active we try and include some type of speaker or training at the meetings (won’t be every time but will do our best). This month we will have Chief Cates giving us a class on Bloodborne Pathogens. This is an important class that we should take once a year to keep up to date on anything new.

Also, KC (Gary’s daughter) is still on record as the CERT secretary. This year since she had been very busy with finishing high school and getting ready to go off to college Rose and I have been filling in. Since she will be leaving for college we need to vote in a replacement. Please bring to the meeting any nominations you may have (including yourself) and as long as we have an appropriate quorom we will be able to vote in an official replacement.

Next I wanted to remind everyone of the Fall trash sweep on Saturday August 15th. Please make sure that if you signed up to help and can’t make it let Stefanie Reed (jeffandstef@gmail.com) know. She has taken on the lead of this project.

Finally, our next CERT training will be a long weekend event starting Friday Sept. 18th through Sunday the 20th. We could really use volunteers to help out during these classes.. So check out your calendars and be prepared to let us know if you will be available.

The final exercise for this class will be Saturday morning the 26th and we can’t stress enough how important it is to have as many current CERT members be part of this exercise alongside the new graduating members. It’s a great refresher each time you do it because if you don’t use it you tend to lose it.. We want to continue to see our team get stronger and larger so that we can truly make a difference in our community and show how much we appreciate the support the Town of Morrisville and the members of the Fire Dept. have given us over the last year..

Thanks so much y’all!!
