[WARC] Red Cross Class

[Len Litvan]

Hello Clare,

I'll get the various promotion items out today (see below about the test 
session date)--public media, surrounding ham groups, ARRL website; 
candidates from this year's NWS Storm Spotter training, Bob Bilder's 
candidates, club website, etc.  I also will contact the assistant 
principal at WSHS to see if any of the science students want to 
participate (Project Lead the Way).

I presume the costs are as we discussed -- $24.95 for the study manuals 
and $15.00 for the licensing session.  People can provide their own 
study manuals and participate in the classroom portion of the program at 
no charge -- still $15.00 for he licensing session.

I can take registrations and order the books (next Thursday, probably) 
for delivery direct to the Red Cross office on the 11th if that is OK 
(feedback, please).  We may have to place a second book order for late 
registrations.  I have a copy of the study manual which one of the 
instructors could borrow if desired--in order to save cost.  I will be 
unable to help with the class on the 11th due to a business commitment, 
but I can help instruct on some of the other sessions.

Will the class be skipped for Memorial Day?

What about the date for the license testing session?  Perhaps it could 
be done on the sixth night (June 22 if Memorial Day is skipped).  
Normally the sixth night has been a review session and the license test 
session is the seventh night.  I think it would work OK to have the 
license test session on the sixth night with a review session beforehand 
(review at 6:30 and test session at 8:00 for instance).  I need to know 
the date for the testing session in order to publicize the course 
properly.  I recommend that the review and testing session be on the 
22nd as outlined above.

I have some other planning materials for the course also.  I expect to 
be at breakfast Saturday morning and will bring some of the materials 
with me.  I hope you can make it also.  If not, we can coordinate some 
other way--by phone or 146.835 or 147.000 with e-mailed materials would 
work.

Thank you very much, Clare, for getting this course and testing session 
rolling.  It is very exciting to see the level of cooperation between 
WARC and the Winona County Red Cross.  Thanks for spearheading it.

Sincerely & 73,
Len Litvan  KC0RSX
