We will be forming our core group for storm spotter activities following immediately after next months meeting. Those interested in becoming part of this team should stay after regular club meeting and plan on a couple of hours. Those interested in this group need to be committed, dedicated and willing to pursue training and practice involving all parts of storm spotting. People not able to dedicate the time to the core group are not excluded from being a spotter and we will be opening up for spotters AFTER the formation and planning of the core group.
