GOFSEA

The conference call is still scheduled for today.  It will begin at 1:00pm EST.  Call information can be found in the prior post or in the right hand menu under “Pages”.

A conference call is scheduled for next week. We are going to attempt
to “meet” by phone to take care of a few outstanding GOFSEA
“housecleaning” issues.

1. Greg Smith, Dayton FD, has a proposal on the table asking GOFSEA to contribute some funds toward production of a video PSA that can be used in the region. He has had very good success in the past with his PSA campaigns… this would be further reaching. Your vote is appreciated.
2. There are some expenses for GOFSEA that might need to be discussed, including the replacement of a hard drive for the secretary/association laptop.
3. Meeting times/dates/locations may be changing if the membership approves doing so. The Miami Valley Firefighters Regional Burn Association meets the same day (2nd Wednesday) as GOFSEA and includes many GOFSEA members. There is thought of holding the meetings at the same location — and consecutively — to ease some of the time/travel burdens by members.

Please respond to the list email if you can attend the conference call on Wednesday, 28 February 2007 at 1:00 PM. Call information is found on the right hand menu of the GOFSEA web site under the PAGES category. It is called “Conference Call Info“.

Here are the specifics, as well:
Dial 1-218-486-1300
Enter code: 606335
Record your name when prompted.

In many cases, the conference will be open for free discussion. However, if we are conducting official business it may be necessary to mute all attendees other than the person that has “the floor.”

When you join the conference, please press “4*” to mute your line until prompted for discussion.

Again, please respond if you can attend the conference call session. An email to the group list at gofsea [at] googlegroups [dot] com will be best. (Remove the bracketed items and replace with the appropriate symbol. Formatted to avoid spam to the group.)
Thank you!

GOFSEA Secretary

Because many of the members either couldn’t get to work due to the weather conditions — or they are obligated to their agencies as a result of such conditions — we’re cancelling the meeting for today.

Please check your calendars for next Wednesday, 21 February.  We will attempt to hold the meeting then.

If the snow doesn’t lock us down at our agencies, the GOFSEA meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 14 February will be held STARTING at 1:30 p.m. at the Miami Valley Hospital Burn Conference room, 3 NW.

Park in the Apple Street garage and come across the skywalk to the hospital. Turn to your right once inside the door and take the elevator to 3rd floor. Follow the signs to the burn unit.

This meeting will proceed the Miami Valley Firefighters Regional Burn Association meeting. It is possible the two meetings will merge. If you can only stay for the GOFSEA meeting, that is fine.

We will discuss some current and future projects, plans, and ideas for GOFSEA in 2007.

REMEMBER: This meeting starts an HOUR LATER than usual and will be held at MIAMI VALLEY HOSPITAL.

Thanks!
Rich

P.S. Check your email (if you are subscribed to the GOFSEA Google group) and the GOFSEA web site for updates relating to weather cancellations if needed.
