2003 All-Team Training
BBQ/Dive Team Demo/Raffle
SAR tradition holds and the BBQ begins when the Sheriff and Under Sheriff arrive.
Many thanks to the Ventura County Fire Department for the use of their mobile bbq.
Sgt. Paul Worthy stokes the fire.
Sr. Deputy Tim Hagel attends to the meat.
Tim Coates gets ready for a dive team demo.
Tim explains the equipment and methods the dive team uses to conduct underwater searches.
Part one of the raffle was started early in the day by SAR's Sr. Deputy Rick Harwood and Corrine from the Admin team. A big thank you to Corrine for organizing the raffle.
A bigger thank you to all the sponsors who donated prizes for the raffle. (List of sponsors to be posted.)
Special thanks to Glen Grossman for donating beautiful framed copies of his work to the All-Team raffle...
...and thank you to Tim Tarry for donating one back after he was lucky enough to win them both!
The raffle successfully raised funds for the VC SAR teams.
After the raffle concluded, we were extremely lucky to have Royal Robbins as our guest speaker, and highlight of the 2003 All-Team training. Royal shared with us an amazing slide show and story of his life's adventures.
Royal gave a rare glimpse into the mind of a big wall climber. In his presentation, subtle analogies of everyday life touched and inspired his audience leaving all in awe of both his professional and public speaking performance.
