[HCRA] Skywarn Spotter Class

[Peter]

Reminder

There is a Skywarn Spotter class Tonight at 6:30 to 9:30 in Westfield 
sponsored by the Westfield Emergency Management Agency and presented by 
the National Weather Service.  The class presents the topics necessary 
to turn the average citizen into an official "Skywarn Spotter" and you 
get a nice Skywarn Spotter credential at the end of the class.  You 
don't need to be an Amateur Radio operator to attend the class.  It is 
open to all so bring a friend if you would like.  You will learn how to 
report weather events according to National Weather Service criteria and 
how to recognize various severe weather conditions.  The presentation 
includes some history of severe weather in the local area.  This will be 
an interesting evening for all that attend.

Already a Skywarn Spotter?  Been some time since your last class?  This 
is a good opportunity for you to renew your credentials and get up to 
speed on any new information added to the presentation since you last 
attended the class.
