LARC Picnic - Saturday, March 25th

[Wayne Miles, KG4TCJ]

Spring is in the air!

We will be having the first picnic of 2006 on Saturday, March 25th 
at the park on Lake Parker. (Our normal location) Just look for the 
LARC Banner on the picnic shelter.

Times: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM (Lunch at noon)

LARC will provide the main course of burgers, hotdogs and a little 
extra...

We would like to ask members to bring a covered dish with you. 
Salads, baked beans, chips, deserts and drinks would be great!

We will have someone monitoring the repeater if you would like to 
call in on the way to see if we need anything at the llast minute - 
or if you just want to announce your arrival or need directions...

Everyone is welcome - bring a friend too!

Radios are Welcome!!!

The theme of this event will be "Emergency Radios"

We would like members to bring their battery operated radios to this 
event. If you have a "Go Kit" or special set up for "Emergency 
Communications" - please bring that so we can test it and show 
others...

Hams always get good ideas from seeing what other people do, so this 
would be a great time to show off your stuff...

Also, we may have a reporter from the Ledger at this event who will 
document LARC's efforts in providing "Emergency Communications" so 
we want to be able to show them something cool! When they print the 
story, we may get some new members as a result.

We will offer a 50-50 drawing and the money will go back to the club 
to cover the cost of the food.

Volenteers are needed to help out with the following:

We need a cook! 
We need a grill to cook on. (Mine is too small)
We need lots of people to come and have fun!

Let's all make this event a big one and I hope everyone brings lots 
of radios to show off. Bring the manuals as well so others can read 
up on them...

Remember the date - Sat, Mar 25th - Lots of food - radios - and fun!

See you there!
