Commander's Remarks:

This week at our weekly meeting, we will be having Emergency Services
training and Communications hands on training.  For our weekly meeting, we
will, as always, be social distancing and wearing our masks in accordance
with MN Wing directives, but will be outside for part of the evening.  I
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

For the Commander,

Stay safe.  Stay healthy.
