We’re having a bit of difficulty getting the combined July_August QFQ (newsletter) out to the distribution list. However, it is available as a download (“pdf”) on the QFQ page at the beginning of the 1st paragraph.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: We had a relatively small monthly club meeting last night (Aug. 4th). Attendance is always a bit thin at this busy time of year. Avi Freund [K1AKF], our PIO and Volunteer Coordinator noted two upcoming Amateur Radio Operator volunteer communication events as:
Saturday, September 4th. Northfield Labor Day Foot Race. The race starts at 10:30 a.m. and is a 5k run/walk. We meet at 9 a.m. in front of the Northfield Savings Bank on Depot Square Park (route 12) to map out a strategy and then go to our respective positions.
Sunday, September 26th, Waterbury Crop Walk. The Crop Walk is a fundraiser for the Waterbury Food Shelf and world wide relief services. The walk is a 3k walk that starts and ends at the Waterbury Congregational Church, just north of the intersection of South Main and Stowe Streets. The walk continues counterclockwise around River Road, Route 100 and back onto Main Street. This walk has been supported by amateur radio operators for the past seventeen years. Walk begins at 1. Volunteers assemble at the church at noon.
Until we get Avi’s e-mail linked as “thepio@w1bd.org”, please e-mail me to get in touch with Avi and other volunteer coordination.
