    CERT is "Community Emergency Response Team" and this training is basically the same as FEMA's online IS-317 class with the addition of practical elements and a disaster drill at the conclusion.  (You can Google that if you want to see more detail on what this class covers.)

    RSVP to Kristy Novicki at pknovicki@hotmail.com

    Please tell Kristy that Ron Mesic referred you.

    There is no charge for this training.

    There is no requirement to join a team or go on "missions" - you may take this training only to be aware of how to better handle disasters / how to be more prepared to look out for yourself, your family and your neighbors.  Joining a team is optional.

    The Motor City Radio Club would like to extend it's heart felt condolences to the family of Sylvanus (Van) Darrisaw.  Van was not a member of the MCRC but many of our members knew him. he was active in ARES/RACES And if  you ever volunteered for the Free press marathon you surly heard his distinctive voice. 
    73's Van you will be missed 

    Van passed away in his sleep last weekend. He had been recovering from a heart attack a few week ago.
