Its that time of the year again. I am looking for help with the 4th of July 
Parade.

Duties:

1. Help with the pre parade line up and get all the lost souls found in the 
assembly area.

2. Move to your parade position and help with the operational aspect of the 
parade. That would be breakdowns, lagging units, entries passing out candy 
etc. This is always a challenge. Three of you will be coordinating with the 
3 announcing stands.

What you do not have to do:

Crowd control. There are other "Marshals" to take care of the nasty people 
problems. We will of course relay any requests for help etc.

What time and where do we meet?

The parade starts at 11 a.m. and will end about 1pm. I would request that 
you be in Morgan Hill no later than 9 a.m.  We will talk  on W6GGF/R 
(147.825 -.600, no PL 100Hz).

After the parade there is a BBQ party at my house. If its a warm day, don't 
forget your swimming trunks. Your entire family is invited also. We have 
spectacular seats for the fire works in both Morgan Hill and Gilroy. You 
just have to walk around to the other side of the house.

Please let me know if you can help this year. If for some reason you don't 
let me know, you can come and help anyway. No one will be turned 
away!!  Besides, what a great seat for the parade.

Hope you can help.

Hello GVARC,
   I have sent out the letter and the questionnaire to all the addresses
I had in my Garlic Festival email list. If you did not receive either
the letter or the questionnaire and are even thinking about wanting to
work in the Communications trailer for the 2004 Garlic Festival please
drop a request to either woodyrat@garlic.com or bill@nulldevice.net and
we will get them out to you right away. Better get you requests for
operating time in ASAP as I will send out the questionnaire to the
non-GVARC people next week.

This is my third attempt to get this letter to go through the GVARC reflector so let's see 
if I got it cleaned up enough for them to let it through.

Gilroy Garlic Festival Communications
Woody Woodruff and Bill Childers

Dear Amateur Radio Operator,

           Woody and Bill would like to extend an invitation to join the
Communications Committee during the 26th annual Gilroy Garlic Festival
to be held on July 23rd, 24th, 25th, 2004.  Many of you have volunteered
in the past and we are looking forward to working with you again. If
this is you first time and you want to know more about the Gilroy Garlic
Festival please read on.
           The Annual Gilroy Garlic Festival is known worldwide for more
than just promoting Garlic. This is the "Premiere" Festival that all
festivals want to emulate. Communications plays a vital role in the
success of the Gilroy Garlic Festival. We provide communications
services for over 30 different committees and groups such as Emergency
Services, Utilities, Transportation, Parking and Gourmet Alley.
Communications provides over 300 radios, 6 repeaters and a Network
Operations Center staffed by Amateur Radio Operators, such as you, to
make the Annual Gilroy Garlic Festival the great success it is each year.
           A radio call comes in and from a Committee person on the
Festival grounds to the Main Net requesting Medics for a person passed
out. It is the skills of an Amateur Radio operator such as you which
keeps the person on the radio calm and directs others in the Network
Operations Center to provide Festival Emergency Services with the
information and location of the emergency. The Main Net Operator also
keeps the Net clear of non-essential communications traffic during
emergencies. The Communications Committee is always looking for Amateur
Radios operators who want to hone their skills in emergency
communications. Additionally your technical skills are also needed to
help with setup and take down of the equipment. This could be your
chance to learn about commercial repeaters, EIRP, SWR, FCC licensing
process, programming commercial radios or fixing LMR400 coaxial cables
connectors.
           The Communications Committee considers the Garlic Valley
Amateur Radio Club as its primary source for volunteers.  As a member of
the GVARC, the hours that you volunteer are donated to the Club. GVARC
uses the money to provide services and equipment such as the WGGF
Repeater and equipment used for Field Day. This year the Club brought a
new crank up tower and the members are enjoying free dues thanks to the
effort of volunteers like you who worked during the many other Garlic
Festival and donated their hours to the Club. This is the only fund
raising event that the club is involved in each year, so please take
this into consideration if you decide to support the GVARC and Amateur
Radio.
           If you will be joining us this year please fill out the
attached questionnaire indicating dates and times that you are
available. Please show your preference for work position and we will
endeavor to accommodate all requests. We will give shift/position
preference to members of the GVARC. All Communications Committee
Volunteers will enjoy free admittance to the Festival, great food,
special volunteer parking and a Garlic Festival Communications Tee
Shirt. We look forward to hearing from you.
           Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for your support
during my 2 years as Assistant Chairman of the Communications Committee
and I look forward to two more years as Chairman.  It has been a
pleasure working with everyone. Bill Childers (KE6VVW) will be joining
me and the committee as my assistant for the 2004 - 2005 Festivals. He
will also be looking for continued support from GVARC and will continue
the great success that the Communications Committee has provided to the
Gilroy garlic Festival.

Thank You,
Woody Woodruff and Bill Childers
Chairman and Assistant Chairman
Gilroy Garlic Festival Communications Committee

  NOTE:   I have also just sent a copy of the "2004 Communications
Committee Questionnaire" to a list of GVARC members. If my list is
faulty and you don't receive it shortly, drop me a note and I will get
it out to you.   Send your note directly to woodyrat@garlic.com.  DO NOT
reply to the deflector.

Dear Frank: 

     Thank you for all your help with the Gilroy REEK RUN.  Theater Angels sincerely appreciates your prior help and are hoping that we can count on you and the ham radio volunteers for this year's event.  It will be Saturday,  July 10th at Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy.  Bonfante's is requiring 75 volunteers so we are busy

getting our list together.  Can we include you and your group? 

     We are in the process of getting things up and running for this year.  Bill forwarded your comments from last year's event which we will incorporate.

      Thanks so much  Frank. 

      Sincerely, 


      Arline Silva
