[Oakwood-CERT] bookmarks revamped

by Kim Gazella

Thanks, Don, for the good catch on the disaster kit door prize!! I've added it to this version of the bookmark/handout. I'm hoping to get those printed in the next few days so we can start handing them out. I've also revamped the posters a bit -- I'm going to have them made at 18" x 24" for display purposes. I was going to get larger ones but decided these won't have a really long shelf life, so we'll spend more $$ when we want posters that will last longer and be used more generically for more events and other things.

[Oakwood-CERT] Handouts and Posters for apr 9 CERT event

by Kim Gazella

Hi, all. Here are some things I've done for our Apr 9 event. I'd like to get them printed this coming week so if you have thoughts, concerns, feedback, etc., let me know as quickly as possible. Attached are: 1. Poster about who we are (this will probably be 20 x 30 inches or so) 2. Poster about home disaster kits (ditto) 3. Bookmark sized handout to stuff in bags or hand out around the neighborhood (this is on 8 1/2 x 11, and will be printed front and back and cut into quarters) Mark, please let me know if you do or do not want to be listed as contact on the CERT poster; if so, do you want just email or both email and phone? Thanks, Kim

Mark, We are glad to hear of your FEMA/CERT sponsored program and possible integration of amateur radio. RARS would provide a free table for your CERT Group. The attendees associated with this activity would be expected to purchase a regular admission ticket for the event. All regular ticket holders are eligible to win cash prizes, the winners being selected throughout the day up until the last drawing at 2PM. Please present your credentials to Jeff Wittich, AC4ZO at the Fleamarket Entrance. We hope all will gain by your presence at RARSfest. 73, Chuck, K4HF For RARS -----Original Message----- From: Mark Turner [mailto:markt@markturner.net] Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 5:52 PM To: k4hf(a)arrl.net Subject: RARSfest Dealer Info? Hi, Chuck. I am the president of a newly-formed Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) group that's been started near downtown Raleigh. In case you're not aware, CERT is a FEMA-sponsored program to provide disaster recovery training to everyday citizens. It includes basic firefighting skills, first aid, light search and rescue, triage training, and more. https://www.fema.gov/community-emergency-response-teams We would like to get the word out about the CERT program and think its mission would appeal to hams. Could you let me know what it would cost for our CERT group to have a table at the upcoming RARSfest? Thanks much! 73, Mark N4JMT Downtown Raleigh CERT --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[Oakwood-CERT] Meeting date of 3rd Thursdays still available!

by Mark Turner

Hi CERTizens! Good news! Gail has informed me that Historic Oakwood's COA meetings are actually on the 4th Thursday, which leaves the 3rd Thursday still open for our Central Raleigh CERT meetings. Since we had the most agreement on the 3rd Thursdays, does anyone have any objection to us making this the regular meeting date for Central Raleigh CERT? If I hear no objections, we will go with this schedule and plan our NEXT MEETING on Thursday, 19 May at 7 PM. Thoughts? Mark Central Raleigh CERT (a.k.a. CentRalCERT)
