President George Vaughan called the meeting to order at 6:18 P.M.

We had a barbecue/potluck supper and cake.

The minutes were read and approved.

George explained the advantage of joining with the Newport group for numbers sake to help with getting grants.

The board members were asked to stand and introduce themselves. In order to get the best use of our meeting time, the members were instructed to contact a board member if they wanted to get an item on the agenda.

George has been invited to Newport to attend drills with the Coast Guard.

We talked about the mapping system. We are working with Jim Hawley and emergency services. There have been 100 islands and 50 satellites identified in Lincoln County. When the map is made available to us, we will use it to identify areas of need in our neighborhoods.

Oradell shared her experience of contacting her neighbors and asking them what they would be able to contribute in an emergency and what their needs would be. She had mostly positive response.

George asked for someone to attend the Steering Committee meetings with him. Pauline volunteered to do this.

Dr. Lynn Osmond, a veterinarian will be joining the next CERT class. This will be an asset when dealing with animals during an emergency.

George asked for volunteers to work on developing a plan for taking care of animals.

Lynn & John Sollers, Alex Smyth, Sharon Wisinski, Sandy Bullock, Debra Vaughan, Mack Bryson, Don Martin, Linda Fisher and Pam Kyllo volunteered.

They will meet and make a report at the next meeting. Sue Clark recommended they visit the FEMA website and take the Incident Command class dealing with animal shelter requirements.

George asked for volunteers to work on assisting the disabled.

Alice Pappagianis, Pam Kyllo, Janice Redford, Mack Bryson and Don Martin volunteered

This group will also meet and make a report at the next meeting.

Don Martin suggested we take part in the Beach Cleanup on September 16^th and wear our jackets to show our support for the community.

The name/address/phone list was passed around for corrections.

At 7:00 P.M., the meeting was turned over to Dave for Advanced Communication Training. We were drilled on radio use. It was a good exercise.

Sue is checking on getting us involved with ODOT training for flaggers.

The next meeting will be October 5 beginning at 6:00 P.M. at the Congregational Church.

The meeting was adjourned.
