It's that time of year again...
 
The Senior Emergency Management (SEM) final evaluation is on for Saturday March 7th 2009, at Elm Creek (Maple Grove, MN) and we need your help!!   We need advocates, evaluators, station managers, patients and bystanders.  No Job is too small or too big, and every job is vital to a successful event.   Please consider helping with the final evaluation on Saturday.

Please send either Mary Pritchett mpritch707@msn.com or myself, Kathy Glynn angelw499@aol.com an e-mail if you can help.   If you know of others who might be willing to help out, please send Mary or myself their names and email addresses.

If you have been thinking about pursuing Senior certification, helping at a Sr. Emergency Mgt. final evaluation would be a terrific way to find out what SEM is all about!

In advance, thank you for your willingness to help.
