Confucius also say, “One quarter of the battle is won by just showing up”.

CHECK-IN:
CT ARES – Region 2 Readiness Net (aka the “Ready Net”)
You need to be here!
Book a standing appointment for the weekly, Monday Night, “Ready Net” in your new 2016 calendar.
When you Check-In here, it does 3 key things:
1) It performs a weekly function check of your radio equipment.
2) It keeps you in practice for participating in a “Formal Net”.
3) It keeps you informed of new changes and happenings.

GO OUT!
Do 3 Public Service Events (or more) each year.

Public Service Events (PSEs) offer a low stress opportunity to:
- Practice your ARES skills,
- Check how well your equipment works in the field, and
- Discover opportunities for being better organized.

Opportunities exist in Region 2, other CT Regions, and nearby States.
- Yes, Travel does indeed broaden ones perspective.
