[HCRA] Your Help Is Needed

[Larry Krainson]

Your Help is Needed to help staff the ham radio booth at the Big E. We have
just one week to get all the volunteer slots filled.

As of right now, only the following HCRA members have volunteered:

   1. K8LSB
   2. W1BOB
   3. W1AST
   4. AA1SE
   5. N1CB
   6. AC1MN

That's just 6 out of over 100 members.

Why volunteer?

The Big E ham radio booth provides the opportunity for you to talk to the
public about ham radio and get them interested in our hobby.

There will be a signup form for those who are interested in learning more
and possibly taking classes. The HCRA has a Technician Class planned to
start in January. We need your help getting people to sign up to attend.

We need your help in staffing the booth. Since we are local to the Big E,
it's a natural time to take an afternoon session that runs from 3:30 pm to
10 pm. You will get both your admission and parking reimbursed after the
Big E has ended.

Are you one to stand by and let others volunteer and do the work? Volunteer
and help grow ham radio in Western MA, in New England and potentially the
HCRA. Your club needs you.
