As part of a movement to gather more members for ACARC, the club decided to put together an attractive and meaningful invitation postcard to be sent to many of the licensed radio operators in this area. Carolyn KJ7VHI and Michael KJ7VHH volunteered to do the job then magically and artistically came up the below creation that should draw the eye of existing HAMs - and perhaps help inform them of this club here in the valley if they are not aware of it for some reason. It will be mailed out after publication is completed.
Just thinking this will sure resound with any Amateur Radio operator who sees it.
Club Dues for 2024
No increase again this year, $15 plus only $6 for each additional family member.
(A huge bargain at $1.25 a month, come on...)
Mail your check to:
ACARC, PO Box 5283, Wenatchee WA 98807 or bring it to our monthly meeting.
Donna N7IIS and Duane KI7RJT, famously from the very active business loop of beautiful downtown Dryden heading into our monthly membership meeting.
We are all SO GRATEFUL that they volunteered to round up our "refreshments" for the Saturday get-togethers thus relieving our busy Secretary Doug K7DEG from this added responsibility.
THANKS again, Donna and Duane.
Don't forget...
Weekly Thursday Tech Talk Night
on our club 2 meter frequency at 2000.
JIM, N7JA and others monitor sessions wherein club members can discuss anything of technical interest to them and other Hams, and they will be able to chime in with comments and questions. Please feel free to join in, everyone welcome or just listen.
