SKYWARN Training; BIG NEWS!!

The SKYWARN Training class that was hosted by SCARA this past week in Gallatin was a huge success! In total we had 55 people attend, which is fantastic. Mike Davis, the Information Technology Officer at the WFO in Old Hickory was a great speaker and kept the crowd's attention through the duration of the class, which started at 6:35 and let out at 9:10 pm. Thanks to Ken Weidner, Sumner County Emergency Management Director for the acquisition of the Administration Building for the class.

BIG NEWS FOR SUMNER SKYWARN!!
Due to a recent ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League)rezoning of the ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) districts in Middle Tennessee, the former "Robertson-Sumner SKYWARN & ARES Group" is now just the "Robertson County SKYWARN & ARES Group" leaving Sumner County SKYWARN and SCARA as the sole SKYWARN Group in Sumner County. We will be working close with Sumner County EMA and other public safety offices to create the best SKYWARN Group that we can.

We will keep you up to date!!

SCARA Updates

The SCARA Website is going to be under renovation for the next couple of weeks. We are trying to make it more functional for today's cyber world. We are collaborating on a design for the new page and we think you will like the finished product.

We had a good meeting this past week. We are still waiting for the National Weather Service to give us the go-ahead for a SKYWARN Spotter Class, hopefully in March.

We will be holding a SKYWARN Net this Tuesday, February 9 at 7:30 pm.
