Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes February 23,2021 Page 14 have some great ones. But they are an amazing team, and we look forward to having them continue. She's already jumped in to do this job, he already took over as Command Sergeant Major. They love Hawai'i And Hilo. They have a son who's still in school and having to live through COVID as we know how difficult that is for our families. Just know that they are an amazing power team. Clay: 'Thinks, Deb. Chair: Debra Lewis is our official cheerleader here. She promotes the best in all of us. We are blessed to have the people on this committee that we have. We are truly blessed, they are all compassionate, caring people and they work hard. If we don't have anything else Brinkley: Mike, can I make a quick announcement? Chair: Go ahead. Brinkley: Everybody that belongs to your organizations if you would let them know that the Medical Reserve Corp is looking for volunteers to help with the vaccination pods. They don't have to be medical because they also have non-medical roles like directing people and register. My husband and I are both going to be helping with vaccinations and I've been doing contact tracing for them. Great organization, really well organized. The way people can sign up, it's the Department of Health gov. I'll send the information to Brittany so that she can put it in the minutes. The best part is that if you're helping in a Trod you can get vaccinated even if you're not within the age group. I have already had my vaccinations and it's not just the medical people that can get vaccinated, it's everybody. So please let your people know. Chair: I would encourage everybody to get on the list to get their shots. I've just had my second one here last week, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. True to form,just like they say it will knock you out for one day. I was certainly down for the count for a day. Brinkley: I didn't have any reaction at all, I even had the second one. Itjust depends on the person. Chair: Anything else we have to add? Gray: Ijust wanted to ask if I could gety'alls contact information so I could reach out to you guys. Brittany Iyo: If it's ok with the members, I can just send her the contact sheet that I have. Chair: Yes, please do. Make our contact information available to all those that want to help us.
