July 23rd General meeting

Congrats to Phil our new Team Chief!
6 people have expressed interest in a technician course for HAM radio. we will move forward with arranging for NOARC to teach a class for CERT.
Our next basic course will start Oct 19th. Discussed having the entire course @ NWFSC. NWFSC Collegiate High School has pledged some victim volunteers for the course. We need participants and volunteers!!!
Discussed a Tri-county CERT exercise. Sponsored by NOCERT.
NOCERT volunteers are urged to track any volunteer hours for CERT as this will help us in the upcoming year in the grant process.
The next couple of training sessions we will have will be map reading and land navigation.
Don't forget to register for classes during the Volunteer Firefighter Weekend
Saturday Aug 4th is our Advanced communications training @ NWFSC, Bldg 510, rm 175B. Class starts at 0800. There will be a lecture portion, followed by a radio scavenger hunt with prizes for the wining team. and concludes with a tour of the County EOC by Okaloosa County Emergency Manager Ken Wolfe.
A new team logo was voted on and approved. Rob will design letterheads, business cards, and a set of pdf, jpg, bmp, files for the new logo so it can start being used on official correspondence.
