Eric:  You need to take me off the list - I no longer reside in Calvert

Nine of the fourteen completed the registration (https://ares.k3cal.org/forms/sign-up-for-calvert-county-ares/) form.  Thank you for that!  Now I'm hoping I can get the rest of the membership to finish up so we can start next month (and next year) on the right foot.  If you haven't completed your registration please go to the ARES website, login, and then select Forms -> ARES Registration Form and answer the questions.  If you ever need to update your information you can simply edit your existing record (Forms -> Personnel Record) and save yourself from having to complete the entire form again.

I know these things aren't much fun but they do help provide an understanding of our role and place in the Incident Command System.  Please report your completion on your ARES registration form.

I'd really like it if someone from Calvert County would check-in to the MEPN a few times a week and take traffic for the area (at least Calvert County).  This is will help prepare us for handling traffic into and out of Calvert County.  I already go on Tuesdays as a part of my liaison duties (from the NTSD) but having regular participation from our county would be great.  If you're interested in handling local NTS traffic to and from the section nets please let me know and I'll help you with understanding how it all works.  We will be doing some NTS training in the coming weeks to help prepare for general operations.

I hope to do some practical exercises throughout the year in addition to the regular monthly meetings.  I foresee 2015 being a busy year for us for public service events and hopefully no emergent requests.
