Here is information about the 2008 SkyWarn training schedule. Listed here are the three major dates that all Kaufman County ARES members need to be aware of.

The class is to be held at the Colleyville Center Tessa Storms Conf. and runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. If there is enough interest in this class, we may again try to get a van or bus to shuttle everyone to the class.

Though this is a not a required training class, we do ask that everyone try to attend, at least once every 2 to 3 years.
