[CVRC] ARECC Seminar at EMCOMM

[Dick Flanagan]

ARRL to sponsor emergency communications course seminar in Nevada --

The ARRL will offer a free Amateur Radio Emergency Communications course 
(ARECC) seminar Saturday, May 31, in conjunction with EMCOMMWEST 2003, an 
ARRL Pacific Division Operating Specialty Convention in Reno, Nevada.

The seminar will not include the Level I course itself. This program is 
designed to explain in greater detail the duties of volunteer certification 
mentors, instructors and examiners of the Amateur Radio Emergency 
Communications courses and provide additional information for people 
considering these volunteer positions.

"With Level I emergency communications training being offered nationwide 
under the homeland security grant from the Corporation for National and 
Community Service, we hope to have all ARECC team players reading from the 
same page to ensure success under the federal grant guidelines," said ARRL 
Emergency Communications Course Manager Dan Miller, K3UFG.

The seminar will be held Saturday, May 31, from 1 PM to 5 PM in the South 
Reno Baptist Church Auditorium, 6780 So. McCarran Blvd. (two blocks west of 
South Virginia Ave). Seating may be limited.

Contact Dan Miller, K3UFG <k3ufg@arrl.org>, (860-594-0340; fax 
860-594-0259) at ARRL HQ if you plan to attend. For registered CMs, CIs and 
Ces who attend, mileage may be reimbursable up to a total of $35. Seminar 
attendance does not include admission to the convention, which is May 31.
