<DIV><SPAN class=176525515-23012005><FONT face='"Arial"'>We had a blast at Red
Tape. Glad to see so many Chirurgeons at such a 'dry' event, taking so
many classes that had Not One Thing to do with chirurgeoning! We did
manage to shepherd two candidates through First Aid/CPR (both toting application
forms they hoped we'd accept on the spot), and one through CPR. The
site was lovely, and the lunch buffet tasty. We nearly swamped Carrabbas
afterwards, but I heard that Pappacita's was suffering the same onslaught
by more of the meeting's attendees. What else can I
say?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=176525515-23012005><FONT face='"Arial"'>I'll be at Westgate
Winter Collegium next weekend, offering Chirurgeon 101/Vital Signs (as needed)
and Waterbearer classes if needed as well. If you're in the area and free
just before and after lunch, c'mon in! Bring a friend! I'll have
Apprentice Waterbearer baldrics for sale at $5 each (unless the KWB changes
that).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=176525515-23012005><FONT face='"Arial"'>The outlines have been
written for Chirurgeon 101, Vital Signs, and Chirurgeon in Charge. My next
desire is to see that ALL Regional Chirurgeons are trained to teach these
classes, and then set them free to teach in their Regions as the classes are
needed. Naturally, the rest of the instructors will be there to back-up
where desired, and we'll continue to offer First Aid and CPR through the Deputy
Kingdom Chirurgeon/Training's office. One word on that, while you're eyes
are just scanning: PLEASE advise me As Soon As You Are Aware of the need for a
FA/CPR class in your region! It can take several weeks to arrange for
instructors, equipment, space, crash space, etc. to move the brigade out of it's
usual homes. We are willing to go to All regions - just let us know of a
need in yours, eh?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
