CASARA Ontario held their Annual General Meeting, June 13. It's the behind the scenes work that keeps an organization operational. It takes skillful and dedicated volunteers, both administratively and operationally, to maintain professional level of search and rescue response. Thank you to all our members.

This evening, Thursday, June 11th, members of CASARA Niagara are meeting to do "house cleaning" (everybody's favourite activity) to give our headquarters and van a thorough cleaning. We call it "CLEAN-EX". As a voluntary, non-profit charity, the headquarters at Niagara District Airport is our own responsibility financially and maintenance. Dedication of members is what keeps CASARA operational ready for when others need our help.

CASARA Niagara "certified" a new member as Ground Homing Operator, following a challenging ground search for a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). Emergency Transmitters of various sorts are the "stuff" of CASARA member's ability to locate them. Congratulations to Aveline for a successful mission.
