X-Message-Number: 31873 Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:34:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Shannon <> Subject: Aug. 29th & 30th TX Cryonicist First Responder Training --0-1952282926-1250292866=:60036 Hello, Alcor is having the TX Readiness Team Training this August 29th and 30th, this is the training that was postponed from July 25th and 26th due to an Alcor suspension having occurred that weekend. If you are Texas area and will be able to attend please RSVP. This training is free and open to members of any cryonics organization, or anyone with a strong interest in cryonics who would like to join the TX Area First Responder's Team.. August 29th 2009, 10:00am to 5:00pm, lunch provided at 1:00pm August 30th 2009, 10:00am to 3:00pm, lunch provided at 1:00pm TX area cryoncists can learn more about the stand-by process, what First Responders do, and how optimal suspension is aided by local community volunteers. Suspensions are helped by having area cryonicists volunteering and working together. Any suspension is good experience to have the confidence in place to help with further suspensions. Attending a hands-on training gives you the tools to know what to do and how to do it. During training you will get hands on experience with standby stabilization equipment. Whether or not you are interested in volunteering for the cryonicist community this is an excellent time to learn more about the process of suspension and taking the training can help you in your own planning. Anyone who is interested in being on the TX area readiness team as a first responder should attend, but this training is open to those that would just like to learn more about what a Readiness Team does as well. Alcor members who complete the training and join the TX Area Readiness Team will get a 75% discount on their dues. Aaron Drake will be running the training: http://www.alcor.org/AboutAlcor/meetalcorstaff.html Please RSVP to TX Readiness Team Coordinator if you can attend all or part of the training. The training is being held at a central TX, Austin location: Steve Jackson Games 3735 Promontory Point DriveAustin, TX 78744 If you are planning on attending and will need a place to stay for the night, this hotel is just blocks from Steve Jackson's business, has great reviews and is economical: http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=14545 If you are in the Texas area I hope you can attend the training, please let me know--since the first training was postponed due to an Alcor suspension--this new date may allow more Texas area members to attend.
