Thank you, Dave (and Don and Gail!!) for doing all of that work and
representing us well! We are just going to need some persistence, methinks.
Even if we're not getting big response at our events, we are still getting
out there and letting people know who we are. That just takes time.
Appreciate your efforts on this!

Hello Central Raleigh CERT Members – hope you are
doing well.
I just wanted to update you on the Youth & Family Preparedness Day event
we participated in Saturday June 18.
Things went well. It was the first year for this event so not very many
people came.
CERT had two tables at this event – giving information about CERT,
recruiting for new CERT members, and giving information about home
emergency kits. I estimate 20-30 people came by. One very good thing was
that members of 5 different local CERTs volunteered at the booth (Cary
CERT; Apex CERT; Morrisville CERT; Don Becom and Gail Wiesner of our CERT;
and Fuquay-Varina CERT which is even newer than us).
We had 5 people give contact information to us – wanting more information
about CERT. I know that at least 2 of these people want to get the basic
training and join our CERT.
We started a good relationship with the St Paul AME Church personnel – and
were invited to participate in these event next year.
Hope you have a good summer.
Dave Wiesner
Central Raleigh CERT Vice President
