There will be around 100 participants for this event and we would provide radio support via simplex. It is in the river pond area and all profits will go to the USO. Start time is 9am with radio support volunteers probably meeting around 8 am.

Motion passes to provide radio support for this event.
St. Mary’s PD Test Session
The St. Mary’s police department has people interested in becoming licensed in ham radio. They contacted Jim, KS0VO, to see if we would be able to hold a test session for them. Jim will pursue and possibly work with Jeff, WD4ET. Ryan, AD0TZ, has volunteered to VE if needed. Test Sessions During Meetings
The possibility of testing during our monthly meetings was brought up with positive feedback. The test could start around 5:30 because that is when we book the room. We will need to follow up with Jeff, WD4ET.
MAARS Club Informational Packet
We do not have a current information packet about MAARS. Jim will work on creating an updated version with local repeater information.
