Flagler ARES Meeting – 16-June at 19:00

Reminder that we will be having our monthly Flagler ARES meeting on Wednesday evening, 16-June-2010 starting at 19:00.

This month’s topic will be Go-Kits. We will have a short presentation, followed by a number of demonstrations. Please bring our personal Go-Kit (Radio and accessories, including personal items) to the meeting so that we can learn from each other and share ideas.

We’ll send another reminder on the Monday before the meeting.

Ham Radio Proclamation – Bunnell on MONDAY EVE

to those of you who were present at the Flagler County Proclamation this last Monday, THANK YOU..!!  That was an EXCELLENT turn-out.  The Amateur community came out in-force to accept the award – we had more people there that even I expected.. WOOHOO..!!

The next ceremony is this coming Monday eve – for the City of Bunnell – at the same place (Flagler Government Center) at 19:00 local. This day/time conflicts with a number of club functions (nets), but it is very important that we have a good turn-out to this even as well. So if you’re available, PLEASE join us in accepting YOUR award for your collective contribution to the community.

Flagler County Commissioners Proclamation – Monday 09:00

All,

Flagler County Commissioners will be making a Proclamation of Amateur Radio Week for the week of Field Day. The ceremony will be held on Monday -07-June-2010 starting at 09:00, at the Flagler County Government Center in Bunnell – Moody Road (Hwy-100) just east of US-1.

We are requesting ANY of you who can make this meeting to PLEASE attend. There has been a history of ONE CLUB accepting this proclamation in the past, as if they were the entirety of Amateur Radio in the county. A small group of 5-7 of their members attended in order to get publicity and their photos in the paper, while silently EXCLUDING other amateurs by not issuing an invitation.

Not right, not ethical, but hey… what do you expect. None of us received any notice of the ceremonies in the past, but this time the officials at Flagler Emergency Services made us aware of what has been happening and of the Monday meeting. We would like to have a group of 20-35 amateurs attend to demonstrate a commitment to Amateur Radio in the county. A number of us will be there with prominent ARES logo-wear and some of us will be there in Business Attire. All of you are invited and encouraged to attend.
