FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
re: SECURITY BREIFING

I spoke to the Charles County Sheriff Deputy in charge of the security briefing today.  As of today, 14 Nov, we have about 10 in house and 3 or 4 Zoom participants. For them that was a pretty small group, but they could do something for us if we could work out the logistics.  I asked for 5 or 6 Dec at 7PM. They would prefer in the afternoon if possible and maybe after all the holidays. Sgt McCue then suggested they could prepare a package for us with hints, suggestions, graphics & reminders,etc., so we could send it out to all our members and they could look at it at their leisure.  Currently that sounds good to me, but I have not committed to anything yet, including scheduling a date for a live presentation. I am asking for input from our members on how they feel. Please email me at [email protected] with your opinions and thoughts.

Thanks,
Marv Cohen
