Pilot IST In Spokane - July 26

(An open invitation from Chuck Ray, eastern Washington hunter education field coordinator.)

Please reserve Saturday, July 26th for an important training date!

I have scheduled a pilot, in-service training (IST) for the 2009 chief instructor (C.I.) IST requirement, for July 26th at the Spokane Gun Club. The times will be from 8 am till noon.

You are invited to helps us pave the way for the new in-service training requirement for 2009. We want your input and ideas on how the new IST format should look. There will be four subject topics for the training; which will be the revamping of the instructor’s evaluation matrix, enforcement participation in the classroom, on-line hunter education update and an update on class registration via the Internet. Staff attending will be; Lt. Steve Crown, Mik Mikitik, Mike Kuttle, Captain Mike Whorton and other Region One enforcement officers.

Due to space constraints, I must limit participation to 50 chief instructors, so register early. If you plan on attending, you will need to pre-register by July 21st no later than noon. The club will be open for trap or skeet shooting after our meeting, so bring a shotgun along and enjoy an afternoon of killing some clay birds. Shooting will be on your own hook.

If you have any questions please call me in Ephrata at 1-800-468-5006.

NOTE: Attendance at the pilot training program is optional--not required--and there is no reimbursement offered for per diem or mileage for this pilot program.
