August 12 RARC Presidents Address

The annual Rochester Amateur Radio Club (RARC) Picnic will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday August 12th at Oxbow Park, 5731 County Rd 105 NW, Byron, MN

August meeting of the RARC - PICNIC TIME!

Good evening everyone!

I want to extend my gratitude to everyone that participated with the Expo.

Almost without exception it is felt the event was a huge success for the RARC.

We learned a tremendous amount through the process, both individually and as a group, and I believe we are all richer for the experience. In the coming weeks we will debrief the event, tabulate the results and will report our outcome at the September meeting.

As is the RARC tradition, we will be having our Annual RARC picnic - again at Oxbow Park on Tuesday August 12th, from 6pm - 9pm. Attendance by family members is not only welcome, but DESIRED! We will be meeting at the "2nd Bridge" Shelter, where we held last year's picnic. There will be signage directing you to the Shelter. Caitlin, KDØAFG has been instrumental in the planning of this event.

As a means of demonstrating my personal gratitude to the Club members for all their hard work they do all year, I'll be supplying the meat for this event. The club will supply the beverages and plates/utensils. Please bring a side dish, buns, chips, or a dessert to pass. Feel free to bring a football or volleyball and any lawn games you think would be fun... It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring your bug spray as well!

Please share this note with any new hams/members, or any member you feel may not get their email in a timely manner.

Bob, ABØBW has agreed to do a talk-in on the 146.82 that evening. He can be reached by cell for any other questions leading up to the event.

Thanks again for ALL you do to make the RARC successful. See you there!
