Hi All:
VHF Net Reminder
This is a reminder about the 28 December 2013 Saturday afternoon, 1 PM OEMComm Net on 147.300 + offset PL 110.9, alt freq. 146.880 – offset PL 110.9. We are asking for a Volunteer to take the NCS Duties this week, So, since we have been discussing this via email, this will be an excellent chance for those who check in regularly to come forward.
Note on both scheduled NCSs: One is out of town and the other one has not checked into the NET in the last 3 months.
Resolve to be #Prepared2014!
Roughly half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions. In 2014, FEMA and the Ad Council are encouraging them to Resolve to be Ready for potential emergencies by committing to make preparedness a year-round family activity.
We’ve enlisted the platform Thunderclap to reach as many people as possible with the #Prepared2014 message. Please help us by adding your support and promoting #Prepared2014 to your social media communities.
Here’s how:
- Join our Thunderclap message and share a New Year’s resolution of preparedness with your followers. How does Thunderclap work? Once you sign up, Thunderclap will sync your social media accounts to release an automatic Facebook post, Tweet or both on January, 1, 2014 at 12:30 PM reminding your friends and followers to make a family emergency plan.
- Use #Prepared2014 in your social media messaging throughout 2014 to remind friends and followers to be prepared for emergencies all year long.
- Share preparedness messaging from the Ready Facebook and Twitter feeds.
- All the info you need to participate can be found at http://www.ready.gov/prepared2014.
Thank you for your support!

Hi All:
***** Special Announcement *****
As discussed at the November General Meeting, the meeting on the 19th is to be a social meeting. Due to funding limitations, it is a “holiday potluck”. Each member should bring his/her favorite holiday party dish or drink (no alcohol) with enough for 10 (or more) servings. That way we can all have a taste. Meeting will start at 19:00 and finish at 20:30.

Regards,
Dr. Don Cox
