7. Group Concerns: (a) Joan T. introduced Dave Cobble from Sunflower who was here on behalf of Com munity Emergency a Response Teams (CERT). Dave proceeded to introduce three members of his team and he expounded, sometimes quite humorously, on the aims and experiences of CERT. Some of his highlights were: Sunflower chapter is looking for more assistance for their CERT group; he passed out a sign-up sheet. The group meets in the Fire Hall from 6:00 to 7:30 each second Wednesday of the month. One of their activities is changing batteries in smoke alarms for senior citizens and he gave a phone number to call i.e. 887-1010; it was pointed out that the Firemenalso do that. “File of Life” pamphlets were handed out for attaching to home refrigerators. These, when filled out, provide all the pertinent information that emergency people need to know if a person is unable to speak. Dave em phasized placing it on the outside of the refrigerator, but Lew said that a Fireman had told him to place his inside, because that is one place where it would probably survive if there was a bad fire in a house. Margaret announced that there was a Casino bus trip scheduled for Nov-19 and they usually have a few empty seats; if interested, sign up at the Sunflower entrance desk. Since Dave’s speech consumed much time, the meeting continued at a faster pace. …..(b) Frank briefly explained our policy on toys for children - to be discussed in greater detail later. ….. (c) Ed told us of having a good meal at New Town Buffet, which opened beside Cracker Barrel. …..(d) The nomi nation committee still needs names for Vice President, Secretary and Kitchen. ….. (e) Edna corrected an item in Upcoming Events on the agenda; you cannot vote at the HOA 7:00 meeting on Oct-28 be cause 4:00 PM is the deadline. ….. (f) Linda D. said that there would be a short get-together after the meeting, regarding their first hike of the season. ….. (f) Jim suggested e-mailing Sandy with informa tion on the subject of providing help for her school project so that there can be some kind of coordina tion. It was remarked that any surplus of rice, beans, etc. collected for the school could be donated to the Food Bank.
