Mounted search and rescue

[Santafearabians@aol.com]

To all MSAR managers and leaders
 
I am the manager of our county Sheriff's mounted posse search  team. We 
started a formal training program and recruited new members about  2 years 
ago. The 
first year and last year almost everyone was on  the sport for in-service 
whether it was inside or outside. This year  attendance has fallen off, I 
hope 
this is not a prediction of the future. All  of us are volunteers, most have 
family obligations etc. I have  medical in service, group discussions where 
everyone has an in put, mock  searches, grid drills, mapping and compass 
training. 
I keep them up to  date of items I get from this information line. Would some 
of you may have this  problem give me some clues of what I can do and or say 
to my  membership.
 
Thank you so much
Al Hale  JCSMP Search Team  Manager
