[GCARC] When is the Club's Birthday

[djgrath1]

All,
The idea of a club was conceived by Van Turner W2KE at an informal meeting in January 1959.
The first official club meeting was on February 4, 1959 where the name 'Gloucester County Amateur Radio Club' and officers were chosen.
October 1959: Incorporation papers were drawn up and filed. In May 1960 the club was officially incorporated.
The club became ARRL affiliated on February 25, 1960.
The club's original callsign was WA2NGI. We got the W2MMD call about 1966.

Whew! So, if you want a specific date, I would go with February 4, 1959.

 Hi All,
I need to know the Club's birthday and exactly how old we are on June,17, 2017.  I need this info for the upcoming contest sponsored by SJRA.  I thought we were 58 years old going by the statement on our website, but I was informed that, that is incorrect.  Please help.

73,

JIM, KA2OSV
