[SARES] Packet Training

    During our last quarterly meeting the membership indicated they 
would like training on Packet.  Yesterday at the Santa Clara County ARES 
/ RACES class I was quite impressed with the presentation (matter of 
fact I can now spell P-A-C-K-E-T  :-)   ).  The class was scheduled for 
3 hours, but ran to 3½ hours and ended because folks had things to do 
for the balance of the day.  The trainer was Jim Clark, Los Altos AEC, 
who is willing to give a class to SARES. 

    My idea for SARES training is to have it after the first of the year 
and have it be an "open ended" class as far as time is concerned.  (read 
longer than 3 hours)  Santa Clara County agencies use packet for the 
transmission of various forms from cities to the county EOC.  Therefore 
this class would actually be a double class - Packet and Pac-forms (the 
name of the program containing the forms).  The Pac-forms have been 
created by Phil Henderson, MTV AEC, he & Jim are discussing team 
teaching the whole program.  I would like SARES to be a group for them 
to team teach the WHOLE system.

    After all of the above, what I am looking for is a count of members 
that would be interested in spending time on a Saturday (total hours 
unknown for sure) after the first of the year to learn Packet & Pac-forms?
