ICS-200 Class Needs More Participants!

Tom Kinahan, N1CPE writes:

[The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency] has only four people signed up to take this ICS-200 class in Leominster this weekend. This is a weekend course, that 30 people told me they were interested in taking if it were offered on a weekend. This class is at risk of being cancelled if additional people do not sign up by noon on Wednesday.

Please call MEMA right away if you need this class and plan to take it beginning this weekend.
