 
THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Last month we discussed Field Day and decided on Pott. Co. State Lake #2. We will need to make some final plans and decide what we would like to do at Field Day this year. Anyone who is interested in helping organize this event and make plans, please jump up and join in. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the CASA bike ride in May. It was a huge success, as we were able to pass on 'way more information' then what the organizers had hoped for. I know there were a few bikes brought back by our group and a couple of minor injuries. One thing we didn't have was a first aid kit at the central command/Start, stop point for the race. Something we will have to keep in mind next time. It seems like we may be having another test session coming up on June 22. This hasn't been finalized but there is some interest in an afternoon test session, so if you know someone who wants to test, let them know. I'd like to thank the WARN members who were out during the recent hail storm, there were some casualties as Rudy, KDØBLT, managed to loose several windows on his car and Dave, KDØAZG, reporting from his job near the Airport, lost most of his car. Thank you to all the WARN members out there. Our meeting will be on June 13th at 7:30 P.M., and as usual we will have a get together at Sirloin Stockade around 5:30 P.M. for dinner and conversation. 73,
Brian Carter, KCØDWX
