CERT Meeting Notes for October 13th, 2003 Note: Thank you to the 14 people who attended this month’s meeting. Next Meeting: Tuesday, November 11th. Meeting Highlights Big thank you to Geri Hudak for her first aid class on Fracture Treatment! Geri gave us a lecture and then a hands-on clinic for treating different types of fractures, their symptoms, effects, and the appropriate actions to be taken. If anyone has some extra ¼" or 3/8" plywood that can be cut into 6"X30" strips, we could use it for leg splints. Kid’s Carnival Five CERT and 2 "civilians" volunteered to help watch the kids and shuttle folks at the Kid’s Carnival. Mock Disaster Capt. Jim Brenton and Ed Hickox are going to chair the next mock disaster. They will be soliciting help from our members as needed. Pete Vandersluis is getting his plans together to start painting the
taxiway house numbers in November. A notice will be posted on Channel 2 and
put in the Update. Dave McCarthy will be updating the phone tree. Capt Jim Brenton plans to test it when it becomes available. Ed Hickox has started the effort to put together a Golf Tournament to raise money for CERT. Below is the plan so far. If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact Ed at 386-547-8829. - Schedule Sunday, January 11, 2004… 8 AM registration; 9:00 AM Shotgun Start; 1:30 PM Lunch - Format Best Ball Scramble; Prizes for First, Second, and Third Place - Game Holes #1 – Longest Drive in Fairway; #17 – Closest to the Pin - Tournament Rules 1.Follow all SC Country Club rules. 2.

The phones allow clearer, more secure communications. He also said that his Security staff is enforcing the driver’s license requirements for all vehicles, especially as it applies to youngsters. Volusia County Fire Captain Tim Martin presented us with a large container full of supplies including a first aid kit, 2 fire extinguishers, 2 radios, portable stretcher, glow sticks, flashlights, and other goodies. He said that more would be coming as the county gets funded. Tim will be working with us to schedule another class, hopefully in November. It’s good to see you "snow birds" flying back into the Creek, and we look forward to you joining us for our CERT winter activities. Regards, Susan |
