The speaker from Darley scheduled for tonights meeting was forced to cancel at the last minute due to illness but Barbara is hoping to reschedule him in the near future. Lacking a speaker Barbara reached out to our own Paul Sailon who once again stepped up by leading us in a round table discussion on all things electric.

In what has become a common discussion Barbara spoke about the need for training topics that interest the membership. This discussion brought forth the following;

• Artie Koenig will advise Tarren that he needs to research a class on coolant.
• Anthony Roberto will research an Aerial Ladder class.
• I (Roy Ekelund) will be looking into a brake class.
• Steve Schuman will be putting together a live demonstration on Pump testing that will be held once we see warm weather in the spring.

Barbara once again discussed our need for Fire Departments to step up and host meetings as she is not able to schedule meetings without a location.

The meeting adjourned at 21:00 hours.
