A few questions here for 2023.
First, I need to know if everyone was satisfied with the training, meetings and events for this year. How does everyone feel about my leadership? If you feel that someone else should lead, please let me know.
I hope everyone enjoys the events that we have done. My goal for 2023 is do more to help support the community as well as put our name out there.
My goal also to promote and build the group bigger.
If your interests is in Emergency Communications, therm you may considering joining the Salvation Army EDS team. It is a great organization.
The K/S Skywarn Storm Spotters Alliance Team is now active and will be monitoring the skies. Looking for more volunteers.
