Vice President KI5DUJ

  • I have a form by the sign-in sheet for recommendation for club activities and educational programs at our meetings and if you would like to teach them. Please be thinking of ideas.
  • June 27-28 is Field day. Be thinking about how you can contribute. Please note that we are a 501.C3 Tax exempt club and we should be gathering donations for Field Day now because companies generally spend their donation budgets in January.
