Join us on Saturday May 13 to help with communications for the Annual Gorilla run. We are looking for radio operators to staff stations along the route as runners dressed as Gorillas run/walk 5 or 10KM. This one is always a blast as some people go all out on the costume.
Contact Patrick at public-service@ncaarc.ca if you can help out!
Also save May 20th as well for the annual transplant trot. We are also looking for volunteers to staff stations for that run as well.
What are you doing this Saturday at 9:30 AM?
This is the date and time of our Annual General Meeting. Please plan to attend as there will be reports from current directors as well as the opportunity to elect new leadership for the coming year.
The meeting will be at Fire Station Number 3 in St. Albert. This is the station on Giroux Road.
Hope to see you there.
Looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a very busy time for the club with respects to public service events. Today I received a partial list of events for the first part of 2017 from our Public Service Committee Chair Patrick.
We have been requested to assist with the following events so far this year:
These events are a great way to get out and play radio in the great outdoors, and assist local charities with some fundraising as they receive part of the entry fees. We have a great group of regulars who volunteer for most events, but there is always room for new volunteers as well. I encourage you to take a look at the above list and let Patrick know if you can help out. If you haven’t done an event before don’t be shy. We will help you along the way – usually by pairing you up with someone who has some experience. If you don’t have gear we can have some we can lend out as well.
If you can help out with any of the above events please contact public-service@ncaarc.ca and let Patrick know which events you can help with.
On Dec 17 starting at about 8 AM we will be assisting the Strathcona County Christmas Bureau with delivery day. This is a fun day helping spread the Christmas Cheer. We typically assist with traffic flow in the parking lot, along with directing people to the correct place to get registered, and loading the hampers/gifts.
The location this year will be a bit challenging to get everything flowing. We will need 12 radio operators to ensure things flow smoothly.
If you are able to help us out with this public service event please contact public-service@ncaarc.ca and let Patrick know. If you do not have a handheld radio we have plenty of spares!
Hope to see you there!
