LIEVT News

Weldon Technology will do a class on building a working Multiplex system and adding and deleting components from that working system as well as computer diagnosis and programing. This class can be offered to a maximum of ten (10) paid up members. It will be held at Centereach Fire Department - 9 South Washington Ave. Centereach, NY. Cost to the member for the entire course will be $100 including Food and Break.

LIEVT had a very successful 2007. Our membership has grown to one of the largest mechanics' societies in the nation.

The majority of our guest trainers this year were excellent.

We look forward to a bigger and better 2008 for LIEVT - thanks to your continued participation and support.

President Steve Velazquez and the entire LIEVT administrative team wish all our members and their families a very safe and happy holiday season.

The servers on which LIEVT.ORG runs will be going down for maintenance over the night of Nov. 30th. The site may be unavailable for large portions of that weekend. LIEVT.ORG email will also be down.

As mentioned at the meeting, Tommy of Hendrickson\'s mother Patricia Probst recently passed away. Kit asked me to post this information for those who wish to know: She will be waked at Maloney\'s Funeral Home on Wheeler Rd. Sunday, at 2-4pm and 7-9pm. The funeral is Monday at 11:00am at St. Thomas Moore. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the Hendrickson family on their loss.

I have discussed the power of RSS feeds before, but won\'t bore you again with details. I have added more RSS feeds from fire industry magazines which provide links to stories posted on *their* websites which may be of interest to the membership. Clicking on a link in any of the FEEDS will take you AWAY from lievt.org and TO another website. Enjoy!

Last year many members suggested that an open forum would be best so that local EVTs as well as those around the country would be able to join into conversations without a registration hassle. Unfortunately I have been forced to change this setting.

Because of this open setting, 95% of all posts in the forum have been offensive SPAM which I have had to manually delete (sometimes up to 15 a day). No more - from now on, if you want to post in the forums, you'll need to be logged in with a valid account. Accounts on this site must be approved by me, so people new to the site will need to wait until I have time to approve them. If you already have an account, but have forgotten your password, there is a helpful ' Forget your password' link on the left side of the site which will email it to you based on *either* your email address or your username, but you'll need to know one of those things.
