Upon the suggestion of a Yorba Linda resident, I am creating a new blog to recognize good deeds done within our community. This is your opportunity to recognize someone for acts of selflessness, accomplishment, service and/or dedication to a person or our community. As one person said, ” There is too much negativity in this world and too many times good deeds go unrecognized.” Lets change that in Yorba Linda!

As of February 27, 2009, there are 10 slots open for the CERT training that will take place on the following days:

Saturday, March 7- Class 8am- 5pm
Yorba Linda Community Center, 4501 Casa Loma Ave
Sunday, March 8 – Class 8am-5pm
Yorba Linda Community Center, 4501 Casa Loma Ave
Saturday, March 14 – Simulation 8am-5pm
One Fire Authority Road, Irvine 92602 (OCFA Training Facility)

NOTE: You must be available to attend all three sessions for certification in this program. Do not sign up if you cannot commit to all three days. By not showing up, you are keeping another Yorba Linda resident from taking place in the program.

When you reply, please give your name and best means of contact (cell and/or home number, email). You must be 18 or older to sign up for this class. You can only sign up for yourself and one direct family member in the same household. The City will offer another class in the Fall of 2009.

“When Tragedies Strike,
be they large or small,
they somehow seem,
to affect us all.
The Disaster is here,
my community’s broken,
the help I can give,
is only a token.
To help out my neighbors,
and help them get through,
I’m a member of CERT,
and that’s what I do.”
