Roman Parish (W5RCP),

Club Members,

I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to remind you about the upcoming National Weather Service (NWS) Shreveport Skywarn training session, which will be held on March 21st, starting at 6:30pm. The session will take place at the Shiloh Road Church of Christ, coinciding with our normal club meeting hour.

This Skywarn training session is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of weather patterns and improve your ability to recognize and report severe weather occurrences. Whether you’re a seasoned weather enthusiast or just starting to delve into the subject, this session promises valuable insights and information.

It’s worth noting that this meeting is open to the public, so feel free to invite friends, family, or anyone else who might be interested. Additionally, if you’d like to access additional information and training materials ahead of the session, you can visit the NWS Shreveport website at the following link: https://www.weather.gov/shv/skywarn

Your participation in this training not only enhances your own knowledge but also contributes to the broader community’s safety and preparedness in the face of severe weather events.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to seeing you all at the training session.

Best regards,

Roman (W5RCP)
