ARES TRAINING


    Last month we listed various training programs that are recommended for ARES personnel. In addition, the Red Cross offers the
following Red Cross classes: "Damage Assessment," "Shelter Operations," "Mass Care Overview" and "Logistics."  Since most of the traffic that we handle for Red Cross is for these functions, it would be good for ARES operators to take these courses for better understanding.

NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTION


How about getting back a little more to the Golden Rule for our New Year's Resolution?  Even those among us who do a decent job of living The Rule can probably do a little better.  Certainly, we all have heard amateurs who do not live The Rule.  Some of us may even know one or more of these folks.  Maybe we can help them do a better job of observing The Rule?

The resolution I propose is:

        "I  will  treat  my  fellow  ham  with
courtesy, understanding and patience whether  I am on the air or  meet them inperson."
