[HCRA] Public Service Opportunity for you

[Larry Krainson]

Our friends at the Franklin County club (FCARC) in Greenfield, a little
north of us need some Public Service communication help. Please consider
volunteering: Hi Everyone,
Well, it's that time of year again, the Greenfield Winter Carnival Sleigh
Bell Race is coming up on Saturday, February 1, 2020. I know this isn't the
favorite for some folks, so if you are one of them, please don't burn out
on this race. Our summer races are much longer and have a lot more
entrants, so we really need people to show up for them.
That being said, we do need some people who would be willing to help out
with this race. I've spoken with Christy and relayed our concerns, her
response was that she really appreciates us being there. She never knows
how many volunteers she will have and often they are young (high
schoolers). She trusts us and knows we know what we are doing and is
thankful having a link to people she knows will have eyes on her runners.
Anyway, for those who haven't done this one or don't remember, this is a
very short race, only 4 miles. We will meet around 9am - 9:15ish at Hope &
Olive - coffee and donuts are available - and then be at positions by about
9:45am. As far as I know, we will be using the Leyden repeater. The race
starts promptly at 10am and we should be done by 11am (the fastest runners
are done in like 20 minutes).
So, if you'd like to get a little practice with your radio, or want to
socialize over coffee, or just want something to do on a Saturday morning,
please email me. Also, let me know if you have a preference for a certain
position. Email with any questions.
Thanks for your help.
