Remembering 911

Lest we forget!

Take a moment today and remember those who perished on 9/11. Also remember those who died fighting to protect our freedom and those who continue to die from illness contracted from working at Ground Zero following the attacks 8 years ago. We can not change what has happened and we must move on, but we should never forget what happened that day. God Bless America!

Disaster preparedness

Every year I’m amazed at the masses who rush to the store every time a weather alert is announced. In our area snow storms lead to long lines at the grocery stores as people empty the shelves, stocking up on eggs, bread and milk. With hurricane season upon us and the potential of any named storm hitting the eastern seaboard, I’d be interested to see how many people have hurricane or emergency supplies or kits in their homes. Please let us know whether you have a disaster preparedness kit by voting in the poll.

If you are interested in putting together a disaster preparedness kit, here’s a list of recommended items from the National Hurricane Center.

Happy Labor Day

We've had a quiet Labor Day weekend and I'm sure all our members are enjoying the uninterrupted time with family and friends.  I hope you're making the most of the super weather and spending lots of time outdoors!  Happy Labor Day.
