Oct. 14th Meeting, new CERT Class, Citizens Patrol

Hello Neighbors:
 
Please try and make our next meeting on Tuesday, October 14, 2008.  It will be the next-to-last meeting of this year (Sarasota Baptist will be using all of their rooms during the month of December).  We need to have good attendance at this meeting so that we can discuss the new year and plans for Lake Sarasota. We promise that the meeting will start promptly at 7:00 PM and will be over at 8:30 PM.
 
We are still in desperate need of volunteers for the Citizens Patrol. Please contact Ted Cover at
TCover6161@aol.com or phone him at 379-0758.  If more people would just volunteer for a couple of hours a month, it would make the Citizens Patrol Program a big success.  YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS YOU!
 
The next Sarasota County CERT class will be held in November.  The maximum class size is 40 students, with preference given to neighborhood "teams" who can commit 5 or more members to the class.  Seats for individuals (those not part of a 5 person team) will be reserved on a first come first served basis, after all the team requests have been met.  If we are able to get 10 students from Lake Sarasota, we may be able to get classes just for us that would be taught right here. If you plan to apply, send an email to LakeSarasota@gmail.com to let us know. Let's try for a minimum of 10 students.
