SEEKING VOLUNTEER EMERGENCY SERVICES SUPPORT TEAM MEMBERS

If you have questions or want to become an integral part of the March ESST, contact Emergency Management at 951-655-3024.
ARE YOU A FOODIE?
The Beacon is looking for individuals who would be interested in writing a “foodie” column (food review) on a once-a-month or less basis, and as a volunteer. The goal is to have the individuals select an item from the new Back Street Grill menu and write a review about it. The menu items would be rotated so each one gets its moment in the spotlight. The more volunteers we have, the better! If you are interested in contributing, please email the Beacon editor at 452amw.paworkflow@us.af.mil or call 951-655-2862.
