Good Afternoon Hudson Division,

A couple of things of interest.

At the recent NLI Section/Hudson Division Cabinet meeting, Deborah Kerr
KC2GPV, Amateur Radio Communications Director for the New York City
Marathon, discussed the upcoming Marathon.  Volunteers must register by
August 31, 2016.  If you do not successfully complete your registration,
you cannot participate this year.

We have posted her open letter to all Amateur radio volunteers on the
Hudson Division website:

http://hudson.arrl.org/2016-nyc-marathon-letter/

If you wish to participate, it is imperative that you read her letter
and follow the procedures enumerated in the letter.

If you have any questions, direct them to Deborah at
eventhams at gmail.com .  (Please do not direct them to me.)

Nominations for the 2016 Hudson Division Awards are now being
accepted.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to nominate someone who has
greatly contributed to Amateur Radio in our Division. The ARRL Hudson
Division typically grants awards each year to some very deserving
members of the ARRL in the following (but not limited to) categories;
Technical Achievement, Grand Ole Ham, and Amateur of the Year.

Last year was a banner year for award nominations!  We hope to get as
many nominations this year as well.

There are deserving hams throughout the entire Hudson Division.  We are
asking you to make submissions for this year's awards by taking the time
to fill out the award nominations form, include any supporting
documentation that best represents the candidate, and write a few
paragraphs describing why you think they deserve the award. Have others
in your write up a nomination as well. The more supporting documents,
the better.

The deadline for submission of all nomination materials is August 22,
2016.

The Awards Luncheon, sponsored this year by the Orange County Amateur
Radio Club (OCARC), will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the
Ramada Cafe International in Newburgh, N.Y

All proceeds from the luncheon will be donated to the ARRL Legislative
Issues Advocacy Fund.  Donations to this fund are used specifically to
support the efforts to promote, inform, and advocate to Congress on
behalf of Amateur Radio.

Nomination forms are available in PDF format at:

Tickets can be ordered at:

Last weekend we held Division Cabinet (Club officials and Field
Organization appointees) meetings in NLI and ENY, with a combined
attendance of 55 participants.  This Saturday we will finish up our
meetings with the NNJ members of the Division Cabinet.  With cabinet
meetings spread out into each section, we have more than tripled the
amount of participation consistently over the past 3 1/2 years!
