SFTY3rd 2019 - Registration now open!
Good morning everyone! We have opened registration for SFTY3rd 2019 on May 10-12 in Scarborough, Maine. What is SFTY3rd you ask? It is a training/social weekend aimed primarily at Firefly Safety volunteers. We have found that the information provided is helpful for all Firefly volunteers and have opened up the weekend to all Firefly Core volunteers. If you are new to Firefly, new to Safety Cores (Rangers, First Aid, Sanctuary & Fire) or are a seasoned Firefly veteran- there is good information to learn about working to gether in Emergencies planned and unplanned. TJ Kozma, Deanna Duffey, Talena Gandy and Kevin Tracey will be hosting for the sixth year. The weekend is jam packed with goodness! Something for everyone. Safety Core trainings and cross-trainings with the other Cores. An understanding of what everyone does and is responsible for goes a long way when working together. Also learn about the Incident Command System (ICS) and how to function in an emergency or large scale incident working together with other Cores and outside agencies. Arrival starts after 5pm on Friday or before training Saturday at 9am. Training on Saturday goes til 6pm followed by social time and a bonfire- get to know volunteers interested in safety at Firefly. Training on Sunday goes til about noon. It's an awesome opportunity to get involved, get trained and meet other Firefly Core Leads and volunteers. There will be a small fee to attend of $10 that will go towards meals for the weekend. Bring your own drinks and snacks. The location will be at Deanna and TJ's house in Scarborough, Maine (15 minutes south of Portland and easily accessible by bus and train from Boston). There is inside sleeping space in the barn. And in past years, the weather has been nice enough to camp outside in the yard and woods. Bring yer tent! Full Disclosure- This is not a party weekend. It is a weekend to learn, relax and socialize with fellow volunteers. RSVP here <https://forms.gle/6Uv8LuTrhDNcdmVy9>. When we receive your request- we will send you a link to purchase your ticket and confirm your reservation for attendance. Thank you! Your SFTY3rd Planning Team
