 The new Field Training Officer (FTO) program for SCSA Trainees is up and running.  The first monthly meeting was held May 2nd with a great turn out! The newly appointed FTOs are:  Gene Fisher, Deanie Franz, Joe Pittelkow, Fred Haueisen, Alex Dennis, Rachelle Mills, Barb Cartwright and Julie Buscher.

We currently have 18 Trainees in the program!  The Trainees are allowed to ride with all primary crewmembers, however only the FTOs are required to fill out evaluation forms.  The monthly FTO meeting will be the first Monday of the month at 1800hrs in the SCSA Training Room. The next required FTO meeting is June 6th @ 1800hrs.

 Check out pagers; Please do not take one without checking it out, we need to keep track of them.

 The 3rd Annual WESAVE Yard Sale is in the final planning stages.  If you have items to donate to this important fund raiser please bring them to the SCSA garage area near the inside roll up door (behind the Team Rescue turn out racks).  When the date is set for this fun event we will let you know.

 A reminder; Mother’s Day is this Sunday May 8th and Memorial Day is Monday May 30th (County Offices will be closed to observe Memorial Day).

 Happy Spring!
