Minutes – Social Club – January 21, 2009

Meeting was called to order by President Charlotte Paulsen at 4 p.m. There were 12 residents in attendance. Because the December meeting was cancelled, there were no minutes.

Our treasurer, Bob Dean, read the treasury report. Following his report there was a discussion on how to save money on our newsletter. The cost of everything continues to rise and the printing costs of our news letter has also risen. It was discussed that we might ask for donations whenever the newsletter is printed or a charge could be made for it.We are looking into perhaps putting a box up on the wall for donations.No decision was made and the matter was tabled.

On the bulletin board we have posted the THANK YOU CARD we received from Our Sisters Place.They are the organization that selected the familywe helped at Christmas. Board members wish to thank each and every one who gave gifts for the family. You made their Christmas magical.

Ron Thomas gave a report on the current CERT activities. CERT members will be getting their recertification for AED and CPR in February and in March we willhave a guest speaker for all interested LVH residents on a program entitled “Oregon Shakes”.Everyone needs to know what to expect in an earthquake. .

THE LINE

I guess January is always the month to ponder the past, good and bad. As we get older we become more aware of how lucky we are and to appreciate both and that they make our lives what they are, not perfect, but darn good.

Now it’s time to look to the future. We have already had 2 meetings in the month of January and spent time enjoying the camaraderie that comes with all of us getting together. We have several new members and, to my joy, many are ladies. Now we are ready to get down to the business of 2009. The LVH Fishing Club has their usual on-going projects and some fun outings planned for the New Year. We hope you all have enjoyed this past year but we really do want to make this YOUR CLUB and would really appreciate any ideas you might have regarding what you would like to see, hear or do with your Longview Hills Fishing Club.

So, with that in mind, it’s time to buy your 2009 Fishing Licenses, get your fishing gear organized, mark the two days each month of the LVH Fishing Club meetings, and get ready to have some fun!!

“LVH BOOK CLUB”

Are you interested in a book club at LVH??

If so, come to our first meeting on Monday, February 9 at 7:00PM. This is a no host meeting to see how much interest there is in the community. We will discuss what type of books we want to read, how often we want to meet and other matters like that. Bring a suggestion of the book you would like to read first and we will take a vote. Hopefully we can decide on a book to start with and set up the second meeting. If you have belonged to a book club before, we can really use your input on how to make it work.


Reverse 911????

Many in our community that have landline telephones, not cell phones, received a call from LinCom last Thursday asking that you be on the look out for an elderly lady who had wandered away from her home and she had Alzheimer’s disease.

A lot of people thought that they were supposed to do something.. Not knowing what to do, they called and emailed me asking that I do something... Put a notice on the website or something...

Last year while in theCitizen Police Academy there had been talk of a new Reverse 911 system coming on line soon in Newport. You may know that when you call 911 your address is put up on the emergency dispatcher’s computer screen instantly. Thus the 911 system for Newport knows all the addresses and phone numbers in Newport. With a bit of technological JuJu,their computers can be told to call all those numbers in a matter of minutes and deliver an important message to the entire community FAST.

That is what happened. With one click of a button.. LinCom was able to put thousands in the know about a serious problem. They multiplied the eyes and ears looking by a gazillion. They have brought us all into the loop with this new system.. Government at its best.

What is LinCom? Lincoln County Communications. They dispatch all of our Emergency Responders, Fire, Police, Sheriff, Ambulance and a host of volunteer organizations like the Red Cross, CERT and other agency interfacing such as the Coast Guard, State Police, and Emergency Services.

By the way... The CERT team at Surf Land (near the airport) responded as the event was in their area and was praised by the Sheriff’s Department as beinghelpful and highly visible with radios and their emergency jackets.

CERT will be starting a brand new class mid February... Sign up!!! Ron Thomas
