Hello to
all,
The July meeting
of LARC was especially good. We had John Leahy, KK4ITX, give a talk on portable
operations to include a great “Go Kit”, and a couple of great antennas for
portable use. See more on the equipment on John’s page at: http://zaarc.org/ There is lots of great
information there to be had.
Secondly we had
Don Jeering, KI4EFL, talk on magnetism with an interesting visual presently. Thanks to both of
our speakers for these information presentations.
The rest of the
year is upon us with the months just flying by. 23 July 2016 presents us with a
couple of events. First we have the LARC tailgate at The Revolution Church, at
the intersection of Kathleen Rd and Duff Rd. Lakeland. It starts at 7am and
should be over by 1pm. There will be tailgating and inside tables. Contact
Kevin Rought, N4KWR, for information and tables. ALSO, that same day will be
the 7th Annual WARRIOR WALK Sat. July 23rd 2016 / Time: 8am* First Presbyterian
Church lawn. Volunteers will be needed for the event communications.
The next few
months will feature a picnic, date to be decided. Some great presentations, and
then November will arrive with elections for the next group of individuals to
lead our club in the coming year. There will be some old faces return and a new
President to elect. The past three years have gone by quickly and it is time
for a new person to guide this club on its future endeavors. I will be sitting
in the audience and taking part in events but listening to the new ideas that
will inspire and entertain us. I may even do a presentation or two in the
coming years. We will also be looking for a hospitality person to take care of
refreshments, coffee, cookies, and the like. Your charge is that of the coffee
pot and its accessories, the picnic box with paper plates, fork, spoon, and the
like. The coffee pot to each meeting and the picnic box to Field Day and the
picnics about 3 a year. There you have it.
To answer your
question: No I am not leaving. I am just passing along the activities of the
club to those that may do it better than me. I will be sitting in the audience
and taking part in the activities as so many of our past officers do at this
time.
If you desire one
of these positions let me know. Now is the time to start thinking about running
for an office. You have a whole board to help you on your way. The past
officers will always lend a hand.
See you at the
tailgate or Warrior Walk or both.
