Guest speaker at Tuesday's meeting Heather Boa, Public Relations Officer (R) for the  Huron and Area Search & Rescue organization.  Founder  Adam Seltzer envisioned the idea of a volunteer long term  professionally trained civilian search and rescue organization and together with Patrick Armstrong and Jamie Mitchell made that happen in 2018.  To date there  are 60 volunteers registered in various stages of training. The organization is overseen by a board of directors  and is made up of three areas of focus, Field support, Field operations and the Marine branches.  HASAR received its AdventureSmart accreditation this year and has deployed to help the Ottawa flooding as well as other activities locally.  HASAR is a member of the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association (OSARVA).  The club is pleased to support this valuable asset in our community, presenting Heather with a $500 donation.
