Emergency preparedness is topic on April 9
The Cumberland County Tea Party will meet at the Cumberland County Complex (Fair grounds) Crossville, Tuesday, April 9 at 6 P.M. (doors open at 5:30).
All concerned citizens who believe in limited government are invited to attend. There is no admission fee. Guest speaker will be Mark Henline, from Mt. Juliet, who experienced the devastating flood that hit Nashville in May 2010, drenching the city and interrupting essential services. Nobody can say for sure when major storms such as the Nashville flood will strike again. Nor does anyone know what the next few years will bring, but it also seems wise to be prepared for uncertain economic times.
Mark Henline is an instructional speaker on Emergency Preparedness, who will share his knowledge on basic preparedness in case of emergencies, on long term food storage and forming mutual assistance groups. Also, on the agenda will be the two vital numbers you need to better equip yourself to survive in an emergency. Other topics will be discussion on emergency foods, cooking without gas and electricity, important first aid items, and other must-have items. You will be very engaged by the useful information Mark will share as you find out how to prepare for an emergency.
The Cumberland County Tea Party is a leaderless movement where collectively certain things are decided. The movement is not part of any political party and no dues are collected. It is a diverse movement of like-minded citizens who believe in limited government as ordained in the Constitution of the United States, particularly the First. Second and Tenth Amendments. We invite all citizens to become part of this movement and join in the political, cultural, and spiritual battles still ahead that will restore our country to the foundations of America as proclaimed by our founding fathers.
