We will be assisting with the Christmas parade on December 9Th at 6:30 pm. We need to meet in the parking lot across from City Hall at the Church no later than 5:15. I know some will run late due to working but we need everyone there. Barbara and Glenn, There will be a lot of standing and walking so if y’all want to pass, it’s ok. Afterward there will be activities at Matthews Park.

We hope to have shirts by then, and we need to have a flashlight to use. Please respond here if you are able to volunteer that night so I will have a count for the FD.

I will bring our radios and sign in sheets and distribute them in the parking lot, then we will stage.

Greenbrier Christmas parade is Thursday night, the 5th of December. The CERT Team will be assembling in the Church of Christ parking lot across from City Hall. Vests are required, but no safety helmet. Bring a flashlight if you have one. We will assign stations when we see how many members we have available.

Please be there by 5:30 if possible in order to sign the roster, get a radio signed out and get your station assignment. (I know some members will be coming directly from work so just get there as quickly as you can.)

Tracy Davis and Robin Pate will be your point of contact.

For those that worked, it’s a good memento for us on how we can help!

ATTENTION All CERT MEMBERS

If they are still sandbagging at Beaverfork Fire Department this weekend, both Robin Bristow Pate, Kelly Knowland and myself will not be there. I need someone to take over the pantry and donations coming in, even if you have to work in shifts.

I know we are a volunteer group, and you are not “required” to respond.... but the next time I am asked why we are not meeting for training, I am afraid my response will not be real nice. This is the best training we can do...hands on...learning to adapt to what is available and how to get things you need. It doesn’t get more real than this.

Also, if you have no intention of volunteering in the future, please return your CERT kit and we will have it for those that will volunteer and respond. I live at 18 Roberts Street in Greenbrier and you may drop it off there.

Our fun meter is pegged out. A body can only do for so long without a break and 14 days later, we are there.

Please private message me at 501-472-8053 if you are able to work any at all this weekend.

If we have any CERT members that could come help in the pantry area this week, even if it’s after work hours, we need you. We are taking in food donations, preparing food for workers and sandbaggers, keeping coolers filled for workers, firemen, people who are delivering sandbags, Guardsman, equipment operators....whatever we can do to take some of the load off of these workers who are needed where we can’t go. Come in after work and help us close up, clean up and restock for the next day if you can.

A couple of members have worked 9 days straight, 12/14 hours each day. We can’t continue to do this. We have had 11 CERT team members that I know of that have helped in one way or another during the past 11 days, even if only for a few hours. We have 25 members and we need to see some of your smiling faces.

We will be assisting this county wide effort until we are no longer needed. I guarantee you will learn more doing “hands on” than you will in any trading class we could have.

If there are any CERT members that can come to Beaverfork Fire Department tomorrow, we need help. We have more members than what I’ve seen and the ones that have been here for days are spent. This is what we were created for. I need fresh bodies

Volunteers are needed at Beaverfork Fire Department to fill sand bags for the surrounding areas. I spoke with David and the Chief from Beaverfork and he said they will be doing bags for the next few days. IF you are free for a bit in the upcoming days, please help if you can. They will be there day and night, according to the Chief. I came by last night at 10:30 and they were still going. I am going down tomorrow morning and stay as long as I can. Bring a shovel if you have one....

I know it’s a holiday weekend (but the Cadron doesn’t care, nor does the Arkansas River when it starts backing up into the Cadron), and we are going to have record flooding from what I understand.

You don’t have to be a CERT Team member to volunteer!

05/14/2019

Brierfest is this weekend end and I need times and days that you can work. Please send a message, post it on here or call me. I need to get a schedule made up for Friday night, Saturday (all day) and then Sunday for a while. We will set up our canopy and get stuff up there Friday afternoon. There will be sign in and out sheets like last year. I know graduation is going n so we will need help covering for those that have to attend. If you know someone that doesn’t get these posts...please copy in a message to them
