Dear Members of MCGS: One of our members has sent me a message that I feel may be of value to many of our members that reside in Marin. The invitation is open to any in the Bay Area, so feel free to send this to your family and friends outside of Marin. Happy Trails, Lauren -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Neighbors helping neighbors - preparing for disasters - you are invited Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2003 18:19:31 -0700 From: "Carolyn Lenert" <[email protected]> Dear Neighbors, Would you consider sending this announcement to those near & dear who not had DART training? Or, if you have a mailing list of community-minded individuals who would benefit, please forward this invitation. "Can two people lift a ton? Have you ever used a fire extinguisher? How many firefighters do you think are on duty right now? How long will a fire on top of Mt. Tam take to reach Hwy 101? On Wednesday, April 30th from 6-7:30p.m., the San Rafael Fire Department will host a free meeting to introduce DART, Disaster Area Response Team training. DART is the only FEMA-compliant program in the County and was featured Sunday in the Marin IJ's Caring and Sharing program. The meeting will include information, support and inspiration: a presentation by the Division Fire Chief, refreshments, free earthquake supplies; web resources, checklists, practice session for turning off your gas meter and more... he event is being sponsored by Coldwell Banker and Costco and will be held at 750 Lindaro, S.
