[FCARC] FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS MEETING TIME.

[Bryan Patterson]

THIS FRIDAY ARCHBOLD WILL BE HOLDING THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS WITH AN ADDED EVENT, A 2M/5K WALK RUN. WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO HELP OUT WITH ALL OF THE EVENTS AGAIN THIS YEAR. THE RUN PART OF THE EVENT  STARTS AT 5:45 PM AND THEY SHUT DOWN THE STREETS AT 5:30 SHARP. WE MUST BE AT THE PARKING LOT AT LaCHOY'S NO LATTER THAN 4:45 PM!!! SO WE CAN GET TO OUR CHECK POINTS BEFORE THE STREETS ARE SHUT DOWN. PLEASE MONITOR 147.195 + UNTIL WE GO TO OUR STATIONS. WE WILL THEN SWITCH TO 146.460 SIMPLEX TO PASS TRAFFIC ON. IF YOU ARE BRINGING A RADIO TO USE , BE SURE TO HAVE IT CHARGED UP AND A SPARE BATTERY IF YOU HAVE IT. ALSO DUE TO THE WEATHER PLEASE BE SURE TO DRESS WARM. THE TEMPS ARE CALLING FOR MID 20'S. DUE TO THE EXTRA WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, WE NEED AS MANY OPERATORS AS WE CAN GET. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 10-15 OF US TO STATION AT CORNERS AND INTERSECTIONS, MORE WOULD BE BETTER. 
I HAVE LINKS TO THE MAPS THAT WE WILL BE WORKING FROM
