Bob KD2NEC, this may be our last best chance to show that Amateur Radio is
still relevant in the 21st Century.
Count me in.

Good Evening All,
At last, our Gloucester County Director of Emergency Management, (Dennis
McNulty) has come to us (GCARC), to request our Participation in the Child
Abduction Response Team (CART), that is in the process of being formed. This
is HUGE and we cannot let him down. Many of you have told me that the
primary reason you became involved in Amateur Radio was to provide a service
to our community. This is our opportunity to do it!

We've all seen the Amber Alerts on the bottom of our TV screen, on posters,
and on our Smart Phones. The last time we had one here in Gloucester County
was 10 years ago when Autumn Pasquale was abducted in Clayton NJ. That case
was all over the news and social media for days and tugged at all of our
hearts.

Our role as volunteers will be to provide support services to the County
Justice Department, which has overall responsibility for the CART program.
These services could include, behind the scenes tasks, such as distribution
of posters, distribution of food and water, staff hot line calls and
providing Emergency Communications during a search. So, you could even
include your family members.

There will be more definitive information provided in the near future,
including a presentation by the County CART Coordinator, Lt. Stacie Lick.

As your GCARC Emergency Coordinator, I'm asking for you to please consider
participating in this program.

Thank you!

Bob Keogh (KD2NEC)
