Please tell Kristy that Ron Mesic referred you.

There is no charge for this training.

There is no requirement to join a team or go on "missions" - you may take this training only to be aware of how to better handle disasters / how to be more prepared to look out for yourself, your family and your neighbors.  Joining a team is optional.

We will meet at my house 704 Highview Dearborn to continue to organize our historical archives.  Bring a laptop if you have one.  Cookies will be served. YUM!  73,  Anne K8AE
