Let me start by saying welcome to all our new members. This association is happy to have you on board. There are many exciting events and training opportunities occurring this year. I hope everyone gets a chance to attend at least some of what’s on offer. As you can see, our newsletter will be primarily on line. We will update our current events multiple times daily. Our monthly updates will vary slightly month to month depending on contributions from our members. Two regular monthly updates you can look forward to are our SESA Official Product Review by staff writer, Mark Gaddy and our Tactical Team Spotlight. A Tactical Team Spotlight questionnaire will be emailed to all SESA teams. Please complete it and email it back to the address provided below. If you’d like to provide a picture of your team to go with your review, please send it with your review. Let this newsletter be your forum. I encourage you all to contribute to our newsletter. Share your knowledge and experience with the rest of us. This newsletter will be open to articles on tactics, equipment, classes, operations you’ve participated in, book reviews and virtually anything else having to do with the tactical arena. Please send your contributions to wkish@spartanburgcounty.org in MSWORD or PDF format. I look forward to your articles and to meeting you at our SESA events.
