            Hello to all,
            
                   I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving            holiday and that you have all fully recovered from your            turkey induced comatose states! I am writing to remind            everyone that this Monday evening, December 5th is            once            again the first non-holiday Monday of the month. This will            be the last RACES/ACS test of 2016.
            
                  I would like to thank everyone who checked into Last            month's nets . We have been consistently seeing about 25-30            check-ins across the 4 nets for the last few months and I am            hoping we can continue close out 2016! 
            
                  For the Region 2 operators and Net Control team            members, I would            like to know who may be available to assist from the Region            2 bunker or            who may be able to assist as a NCO from home. Any operators            who would like to take a net, please respond and let me            know if and how you might be participating. While we do try            to keep a log at Region 2 Headquarters, it would be very            helpful for Net Control Stations to please e-mail their net            reports to me at WC1MAB at gmail.com in the days following the            nets.
            
                    I would like to encourage any operators who are            operating out of their local EOCs who may have access to the            MEMA VHF system radio to attempt a comm check with MEMA            Region #2 as well as MEMA State Control if time permits and            as long as there are no ongoing incidents being handled by            the MEME State Control dispatchers. 
            
                  As always, if anyone has been interested in            participating as Net Control Stations, the call for            operators is an open one. This is a great skill to practice            and can be a big help for our region in the            event that the State EOC is operating in lieu of the Region            Office, but            communications still need to happen. If any local RACES            operators who            have participated in nets recently are interested in acting            as NCO            please let me know and we will see how we can get you into            the fray.            As always, if anyone is receiving this note and does not            wish to            receive further messages of this kind, please reply and let            me know.            Also, if you know someone who would benefit from being on            this list,            please have them contact me at WC1MAB at gmail.com and I will            add them to            this distribution. Thank you all!
            
                  If anyone has any questions or comments I can be            reached by e-mail or            cell phone. Thanks for being a part of our team and I look            forward to            hearing back on who can participate this month.
            
            Sincerely,
