JUn General meeting

North Okaloosa CERT
25JUN2018 General Meeting
Called to order at 7pm
Treasurer’s Report:
We currently have $24 in petty cash and $78.13 in the bank.
We really need to find a way to improve this balance, so we have money for supplies and ongoing training opportunities. 
If any of our members have any fundraising ideas or know of any opportunities to raise more funds, we would love to hear from you at our next meeting. You may also submit any of your ideas via email or Fb messenger.
 
HAM Radio Class
So far we have 5 members that have expressed interest in obtaining their HAM radio license.  We are hoping that if we can get a large enough group together, that NOARC will do a class just for the CERT team. Please contact Rob if this is something that would interest you. nokaloosacert@gmail.com

Volunteer FL Grant
We missed the window for the Volunteer Florida grant this year. But now we have an idea of what we need to do, to make this possible next year. Ongoing training throughout the year is a must for us to be eligible for grant money. 
 
We briefly discussed the possibility of having Saturday morning classes, and the importance of our team members completing the training modules by FEMA on their website.
 
We would like to thank Tammy McKenzie for her wonderful instruction on Rehab operations and Vitals assessment at this evening’s meeting.
 
Meeting adjourned at 8:45pm
