<div dir="ltr"><div>A little bit of history: the Sunday night net was active for years, but was discontinued a while back because the ARES EC at the time never could participate in the net. It devolved into a 10-minute check-in and gone scenario with little to no information being disseminated. So, at the request of the EC and the ARES membership, it was discontinued. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Regardless of what night it occurs on, if it's just going to be a quick in and out, it's not serving any useful purpose. If it's going to be used for training purposes, information release, etc. then it is worthwhile and useful to participate in. A good example of what I'm referring to is the Clackamas ARES net - they always have information to put out after the check-ins, the Net Control is routinely rotated instead of being the same one or two people all the time and the EC (or a designated rep) always have information to put out.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, whatever night you guys decide on, they will come!

<div><div>Tonight, on the HIDARG net there was talk about an ARES net. Please announce this when it is decided. If the net takes place on Bachelor we will need to go someplace higher, but Grant County ARES will try to participate.</div>
