This will be the last meeting of 2011 and I would like to encourage all participating agencies to attend. We have a busy 2012 planned and a lot of work to accomplish in the upcoming months so please make every effort to be present.
If you are unable to attend the meeting I would like to once again thank everyone for their hard work, efforts and participation over the past year. It is the dedication of our responders and agencies that have continued to make District 7 one of the lead districts of the state.
