> > The SARA board, led by our President, has made tremendous strides working
> > with the city. This time last year they didn't even care who we were, and

> > Nearly every club (in the US) has an affiliation with an official agency
> > of the area they are located. This could be for many reasons, but the two
> > I think of are:
> >
> > 1) Amateur Radio easily supports communications in abnormal situations
> > (disasters, parades, marathons, anything that the agency/area is not
> > normally equipped to support).
> > 2) Being friendly with the agency often results in good repeater placement.
> >
> > It's the second item I want to quickly address. Earlier this week, the
> > question was asked, "How long will the repeater be up should it lose
> > power?" And the answer was "It is on UPS and generator and it will remain
> > up."
> >
> > This is because the city has provided the club with space in their radio
> > building at Sterling Farms Golf Course, as well as valuable space on the
> > antenna at the same location, both AT NO CHARGE. Further, through these
> > discussions, we have secured a larger, more interesting meeting space for
> > our monthly meetings, which you will see on Thursday.
> >
> > I know people are worried about family and property; trust me I
> > understand. However, if you are in a situation where you /can/ support
> > the club tonight through tomorrow, it would be very appreciated. If you
> > are worried about what to do or are uncomfortable, I encourage you to
> > reach out to Jon P (WB2RYV) and talk with him.
> >
> > Folks, we are 80 members strong. I find it hard to believe that we do not
> > have four people willing to provide this needed public service.

> > Thank you for reading this. Be safe this weekend.
