Commander's Remarks: This week we will be having Emergency Services
training - Radio Direction Finding and Line Searches.  We will be social
distancing and wearing our masks in accordance with MN Wing directives, but
will be outside for much of the evening.  These are tasks you need for your
Ground Team Member requirements, so hope you can attend.

For those that aren’t comfortable meeting in person yet, we will be live
streaming online in our regular online meeting room listed below.  The
health and safety of our members is the utmost importance to us.   We want
everyone to stay healthy and follow the MN Wing guidelines for our Phase 2
protocol which was emailed out to all members.  It is also listed on the
National website at https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/covid-19-remobilization

Stay safe.  Stay healthy.
