CERT Members,
It’s been quite a while and I’m sorry for that, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there in this crazy COVID world.
First I’d like to let everyone know that we are going to suspend volunteer hour requirements from 2020, and will be discussing not requiring the hours in 2021, or until it’s safe to get out there in public again. Our motto is safety safety safety, so I’m not requiring your put yourself at risk just to get your hours!
If you’re doing hours, please keep record of them anyway and keep letting us know!
It’s coming up on the holidays, so remember if you’re trying to figure out what to give people giving the gift of preparedness can go a long way!
Big Congrats to Kristi Bowman on receiving a City of Salem Volunteer Award! Please join us tonight in watching Monday's City Council meeting at 6 pm, to see her receive the award!
