[GCARC] 2019 MS 150 City to Shore

[Herb]

Greetings To All Amateur Radio Operators
Young and Old, Newbee or Vereran, Male or Female

Some folks start the summer on Memorial Day.  Some start it on the first 
day of the Summer Season.  A lot of our community start the summer this 
weekend  -  Field Day.
N3MSS starts the summer with this communication to announce our 
communities big event of:               The 2019 Ride MS – City to Shore

Over the many many years in the past, we have always risen to the task 
of doing all that was asked by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.  
Starting as just some guys on the side of the road looking for problems, 
we now are trusted with helping to bring off an event of up to 7,000 
riders, over 1000 volunteers, and a countless number of supporters, 
family, and folks living with MS to raise over $6 million dollars that 
mostly stays within our community to help the folks that are living with 
this debilitating disease, by having operations primarily in 
Communications, but add to that Route Support, Command Support, SAG, 
Situation Teams, Transportation Suppoet, Rest Area Operations, and The 
Motorcycle HAMS picking up all the areas in between.

Once again we grew last year.  With operators and our own support folks, 
our group brought 141 volunteers to the event.  Once again I say…………
We Need 150 VolunteersTo Support This Event Completely
And once again I say………………..
WE CAN DO THIS !!!!!!!!!!

We can do this by having the tried and true return, and everyone 
spreading the word on how our community is a major force at this event 
and help with putting the word out as a recruitment tool for the event.  
Come as an individual, a club, a family – it doesn’t matter how you 
come, only that you come.

Well, enough of my begging this early in the process.  Here are the 
particulars:
The event is ---  September 21st and 22nd, 2019

As always, it is an HONOR to call myself a HAM and be a part of this 
elite group of people.  Make our hobby proud and volunteer today.
