New Location And Record Attendance


LARC's New Meeting Location

 We are off to a great start at our new meeting location. Many thanks to Bill Paul and TOP Smith for working behind the scenes to make all this all possible.
Guests and members totaled over fifty-seven for our first meeting at the club's new meeting location.
Without exception, everyone was pleased with the new location.

Bob filled in the details surrounding the move, and laid the ground rules for the new location.

 Smiling Faces

And of course, we have a couple of happy test takers. Third in from the left is Aimee Holzer, KM4STT a new Extra!!! Congratulations Aimee. To her left, in the yellow shirt, is Steve Hall. Steve reinstated his General License, and is back in business as an enthusiastic ham. Welcome back Steve.

Normally we present our successful test takers in an unusual location. Some backgrounds make people blend in, while others make them stand out. Outstanding is good!

Your Thoughts And Prayers

Jim Scott continues to show improvement. Jim took a bad fall last Wednesday, and is slowly recovering. The plan is that he will leave the Lakeland Hospital in a day or so, and enter rehab. If all goes well we should have him back on the Thursday night net asking about the Solar Flux conditions.

Attendance Is Up On The Thursday Night Net

Thanks to several short timers, attendance 5/10/18 was way up on the net. Remember, you can call in as a short timer anytime. Those who like to listen and talk will not be disappointed either. Our net tries to offer something for everyone.

One member, notably missing was Jim Scott. Jim is still at the Lakeland Hospital, recovering from a fall. He is doing better, and is expected to enter rehab in a couple of days. He asked me to send his best to all those on the net. I guess this is his way of checking in, because they won't allow a radio in the hospital. Perhaps the rehab center will be a bit more accommodating. :-)

LARC Is Moving Starting Monday May Seventh 2018

The May 7th 2018 and future club meetings will be held at the Parkview Baptist Church. 

Read on --

For the past year we have been guests of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. They have been very kind to us, and their facility was quite nice. However, the opportunity to move to a slightly larger facility presented itself, and the board decided to accept the generous offer of the Parkview Baptist Church to use their facilities for our club and board meetings.
So what will change? Not much. The location is about a thousand feet from the last meeting place.

Parking is more than adequate for our needs. The following aerial view shows the parking areas tinted in yellow green. Several places by the side entrance are handicap parking locations. If you can walk, or even if you just need the exercise, please use the Main parking lot across the street, and leave the few spots by the door for those less fortunate.


For those not familiar with the front of the church, the following image should refresh your memory.


If there are any questions, please contact one of the officers, Matthew, Bob, Patrick, or Bill.
