"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” -Edward Everett Hale

 

After a fast and busy winter, this spring has brought us some much needed, steady progress. 

 

Our team has cemented more of the fine details of our organization. Researching licensing and obtaining more gear. As well as some of our first concrete training meetings. In April and May our entire group of searchers gained their CPR and first aid certificates. Our June training consisted of distributing gear packs, medical supplies and uniform shirts to trained members. We officially have a fully outfitted team ready to respond! Our command trailer even got its official uniform in the form of fresh logo decals. 

 

The local Kansas youth buckled down into their books to read for our cause during our Read-a-thon fundraiser which earned a remarkable amount. We are so grateful for their dedication to reading and for those who supported and sponsored each child.

 

Big plans are on the table for what will come later this year, like our fall benefit dinner, as well as our goals for the next coming year. This progress and growth is so encouraging and we are all so proud of the work that has been put in these last few months from our trained members.  The finer details and more mundane meetings are the things that will make us into a successful search and rescue team.
