Subject: Chatham Medical Reserve Corps

The Chatham Medical Reserve Corps, a volunteer-based disaster preparedness program of the Chatham Citizen Corps Council, will be conducting Pandemic Flu preparedness activities over the coming months.

The activities will be coordinated with local preparedness agencies and the public.  This Funding comes through the UNC Hospitals Trauma Unit originating from a Federal grant from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), Office of Preparedness and Emergency Operations (OPEO), Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP). The purpose of the funding is to improve surge capacity and enhance community and hospital preparedness for public health emergencies.  The awardee should work to develop activities that clearly integrate and enhance preparedness activities with the overall effect of making healthcare systems function in more efficient, resilient, and coordinated manners .

Subject: Fwd: Using your name

Gene,  I have just started reading the Chatlist because I  realized it could be a great way for people in the county to connect.   I had no idea until today that you were allowing people to post without  using their real names or email addresses.

Your suggestion that some people would not  be willing to speak up if others know who they are is probably a very  good reason not to post such items.  This criteria will make me  question every item posted.  That is not fair to all the decent  people writing in.

From: Jeff Lane
Subject: Deer again…

The truth is, WE, as people, do a very poor job of regulating our OWN population, spitting out kid after kid after kid.

*Well this was a fine post to read on this blessed day. Your answer to
resolving the deer overpopulation problem is to control HUMAN population?!
Your remarks sound similar to Nancy Pelosi’s (paraphrasing here) “using
birth control will solve our financial crisis”.
