What might that mean for <br />you and your family? <br />On January 16 ,1999 at 1;00 PM, Mound Evangelical Free Church will host a 3 hour seminar on <br />Family Preparedness. Nationally known speaker & author, Roleigh Martin, will present an <br />overview of the Year 2000 problem. He will provide detailed Information on how you and your <br />family can prepare a plan and budget for possible disruptions. <br />Unlike many disasters that strike without warning, the impending Y2K disaster is one that many <br />people have been warning us of for many months, if not sc. eral years. Based on the best <br />information that is available to us today regarding the level of remediation and repair that is <br />taking place within the government and private sectors, not everything will be fixed in time. This <br />means we should each be making our own contingency plans, based on our informed <br />assessment of the situation in our specific area. These plans should look much like those that <br />the Red Cross or other organizations would recommend for any emergency planning. <br />Roleigh Martin has published 30 articles in Year 2000 Periodicals on the Y2K threat to core <br />infrastructures and has spoken on this topic at numerous conferences and workshops across the <br />country and in Europe. <br />Space will be limited, so please contact us 472-4031 in order to reserve your seats.
