GREETINGS ONE AND ALL

FIRST AND FOREMOST:

This past year has been very hard on a lot of folks.  Not only did we have to deal with the Pandemic, but many of our brethren have endured great losses in their lives, and we hope that everyone realizes that though you may not have heard from us, you have all been in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts.

We are reaching out today to let you all know that this year’s 2021 MS Ride – City to Shore, more affectionately know to us as “The MS 150 – City to Shore”, has been given the go ahead for a full and complete event.  The event will be held September 25th and 26th, 2021.  Of course, we will once again, as always, be riding from Woodcrest Station in Cherry Hill to Ocean City.

 You will remember a few years back, our event was cancelled due to the hurricane.  When this happened, not only did the Society loose a lot of riders for the following year, we lost a lot of Radio Volunteers for the route.  Although this is a late start, we are hoping that the cancellation of the 2020 event will not cause a major set back in our stepping up to support the event as only the HAM COMMUNITY can do.

 Due to ALL the CIRCUMSTANCES of the past year, we are looking at a great many changing needs to our operations.  We have lost some key positions that have been held by our tried and true for many years.  We will definitely be looking to fill positions like SAG and Support Vehicles.  We are hoping that some of our long term volunteers will consider moving into these positions, but we will expand on that in our next communication.

 For right now, all we ask, is that everyone receiving this correspondence, please pass it on and help us to promote the event and our call to COMMUNITY SERVICE.

 THANK YOU ALL AGAIN,

The Comms Opps Team
