MARCH MEETING

Our next business meeting will be on Thursday, March 2, 2023, at the Lodge at Beaver Lake, 25201 SE 24th Street, Sammamish, at 9:30 a.m. At 10:00 a.m., after some social time along with coffee and treats, the meeting will convene with a brief welcome, followed by a program and a short business meeting.

We are pleased to welcome Bob Otis of the Issaquah Citizen Corps. The Corps' mission is "to encourage the citizens of Issaquah to be self-reliant and community-spirited by promoting all-hazard neighborhood preparedness through education, training, and volunteerism." One way they achieve this is through the CERT program (Community Emergency Response Team). The CERT is a group of community volunteers who step in to assist in a disaster of any type until the professionals are able to "be on the scene." The CERT training for Spring 2023 will be a four-week course with two classes per week and costs $35 for new registrants. The fee includes PPE (personal protection equipment), a CERT backpack and vest, a hard hat, and a basic medical supply kit. The next training session begins in April--perfect timing for any of our members who wish to become "superwomen." For more information on CERT and the Issaquah Citizen Corps more generally, go their website at www.issaquahcitizencorps.org.

For prospective members: We encourage you to attend one of our business meetings and/or activity group get-togethers. Guests are always welcome! It's the best way not only to get to know some of our members but also to see if we would be a good fit for you more generally. If you are interested in being our guest at a meeting or activity group gathering, it's easy! Just drop us an email at issaquahwomensclub@gmail.com and we'll get back to you promptly. We would love to hear from you!
