To the group:  What about Feb 20 as an alternative to Feb 13?

Considering that this is the second time this meeting has been postponed,
why don't the rest of us try and set the date now rather than later.

I suggest we simply reply with a Yes Vote for either Feb 13, Feb 20, or Feb
27, and let the majority of those who respond by 2000 hours EST, January 24,
2010 set the next meeting date at MEMA.

All RACES Officers:

Kristin McMenamin, the new President of our parent organization--the
Maryland Emergency Management Association--requested we postpone our meeting
until the new Association Officers and Steering Committee can review our
current and future activities to determine if they are in-line with the
Association before proceeding any further. Therefore, the MRIC meeting
currently scheduled for this Saturday January 9, 2010 at MEMA will be
postponed. Please notify any of your guests that were planning to attend. I
sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but am very happy to see the
Association officers get more involved in our activities. I believe this
will solve a lot of our problems and keep us on track with meeting the needs
of emergency managers statewide.

I have checked with MEMA and Feb 13 and Feb 27 are available. I would prefer
to have it on the 13th, but that is Valentine's Day weekend, so if a large
number of you are planning to go away for the weekend with your sweetheart,
we can have the meeting on the 27th. If you cannot make one or the dates,
please let me know ASAP. To keep chatter down, there is no need to reply if
you can attend on both those dates, just let me know that you have a
conflict.

To address a few other comments in recent email:

Ted Wallace was given access to the MRIC reflector at the request of his
Emergency Manger a year or two ago. I believe it was at our first meeting
where we discussed who should have access to the MRIC email reflector. We
all agreed that only RACES Officers, and those above them in their chain of
command (EM, Director, etc.) would normally be given access without
question. Any one else would have to have their EM or Director notify me
directly that it is okay to add them. I have rejected many people over the
years that have requested access but did not meet our requirements. No one
has ever been added that did not meet our requirements.

Also, I am being accused of making personal attacks in earlier emails, which
is not true. I did not question anyone's motives, their character, their
race, gender, and did not call anyone names or say anything at all personal.
My email addressed their actions, not their person. I merely recounted what
took place at previous meetings and as Chairman I will  not allow a decision
to delete the equipment list by a small minority, stand over the wishes of
the majority.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience, but look forward to a fresh start
in February. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.


Brett Hammond
Chairman, MRIC
