From ab1rl at brettcsmith.org Sat Aug 19 12:42:45 2017 From: ab1rl at brettcsmith.org (Brett Smith) Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2017 12:42:45 -0400 Subject: [BARC-List] Fall public service events Message-ID: <6b7c0b38-fe94-c613-60ef-9c6a042eabe5@brettcsmith.org> Hi BARC folks, We have two public service events lined up this fall, and you can sign up for both right now. The first is the Jimmy Fund Walk on Sunday, September 24. This is the Jimmy Fund?s annual fundraising walk along the Boston Marathon route. There are positions available to work with a medical team at each rest stop along the route, so there?s a variety of locations and volunteer times available. Tell your friends, too?we?re really eager to build up the team size for this year, especially along the earlier parts of the route. To sign up, just e-mail me back to let me know, and I?ll add you to our roster. The second is the BAA Half Marathon on Sunday, October 8. As usual for BAA events, we?ll work with medical teams at different points along the route to provide them with any necessary communication, including EMS dispatch requests if necessary. Volunteer registration for this event is on the BAA?s web site . If you have questions about either event, please don?t hesitate to ask. Thanks for all that you do, and 73, ? -- Brett Smith, AB1RL Public Service Coordinator, Boston Amateur Radio Club
