Looks like the rules will allow to do the same we did in June. Single participants adding the club name during submission.

Hi Lisa,
right. This is not intended to be a public newsletter. It is an internal way to discuss ARES topic as part of the training activities.
You are welcome to join the group.

Jean and I will attend.

Hi everybody,
Thank you all for supporting this activation. Ari asked us to shut down at 10pm tonight so Eva’s, Peter’s and Martine’s shifts are cancelled.

thanks so much for signing up. All ARES slots are now assigned. This time CERT is scheduling independently.
