TOPIC: Where Your Call Goes When you Dial 911
On this visit we will get the chance to hear from Tom Folie, the Executive Director of the Dakota Communications Center.
Ever wonder where your call goes when you dial 911? In Dakota County, the answer is it goes to the Dakota Communications Center (DCC). The DCC is the centralized public safety answering point and dispatch center for all of Dakota County. Established in 2005 through a Joint Powers Agreement between Dakota County and eleven cities located within the County, the DCC serves our residents 24x7x365 with a state-of-the-art 800 megahertz digital radio communications system and dispatch center. The DCC allows police, fire, emergency medical services and sheriff’s personnel in multiple jurisdictions to communicate with each other, enhancing the interoperability of radio systems amongst all first responders. Come learn about this essential public service that is ready and able to respond to any and all emergency calls that arrive. For more information, check out their website at www.dcc.org.
Congratulations to 2020-2021 Elections of Club Officers and New Foundation Board Members
For the meeting of January 22, 2020 there are 38 cards and 2 Jokers. The pot stands at $349! Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $3 for 5 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot. If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot. If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again. Congratulations to Kevin Lovegreen for drawing the Ace of Diamond. He is guaranteed 1/4 of the pot!
