ESTEVAN — Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue (SESKSAR) is to host its first series of Â鶹ÊÓƵern Plains Co-op charity barbecues.

The volunteer organization is inviting the communities they serve to join them for barbecue lunches in Estevan, Carlyle and Oxbow.

The Estevan event will open the series on July 28, with hotdogs and hamburgers served for donation at the Estevan co-op parking lot from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Next on the schedule will be Carlyle on Aug. 11 at the local store, followed by a barbecue lunch at Oxbow's co-op on Sept. 8.

The organization's mobile incident command centre will be brought to the events and open for the public to tour and learn more about SESKSAR. Members will also be available to answer people's questions.

SESKSAR president Dan Hardern said they will have some application packages available at the events, and people will also have an option to sign up to have a package emailed to them, as the chapter is actively seeking new members to join.

A Summer Adventure package will be up for a draw as well during the venues. 

Hardern thanked Â鶹ÊÓƵern Plains Co-op for providing the food, condiments and equipment for the events. All proceeds from the events will go to SESKSAR's operations and equipment.

SESKSAR is a member chapter of the Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers (SARSAV). It is a volunteer organization that can be used as a resource for policing agencies in cases when someone goes missing.

SESKSAR covers the entire southeast corner of the province, from the Manitoba border to the Yellow Grass area, and from the U.S. border to the Carlyle area. It has a number of members who are professionally trained and equipped to respond to a call day or night at any time of the year to assist with search and rescue operations, and it is actively recruiting and training new members.

For more information about SESKSAR, join them at one of their southeast co-op barbecues.
