Disaster Action Team Updates:

 

The next DAT meeting will be at the Beverly office on Monday, February 6, 2012.  In March 2012, our office will be moving to the Red Cross building located at 85 Lowell Street in Peabody.  Due to the move, we probably will not meet in March.  Updates will be posted here and emailed to DAT members.

 

Whenever possible, please e-mail or call to let us know if you are able to attend the meeting as this will help us plan for copies of materials and snacks (!).  However,  you are always welcome whether or not you have responded to the meeting e-mail.  If you have ideas for agenda items or questions that you would like to be addressed at an upcoming meeting please e-mail June Beckley at jbeckley@northeastmassredcross.org.
