ARES web page:

Providing public service communications for events
involving the public is a great way to exercise
the same equipment and operating skills you will
need in a real emergency.  It's also a terrific
opportunity to assist your community and
demonstrate amateur radio in the best possible
light.

Please consider helping with these upcoming
events. (If you've never participated in a
ham-radio public service event before, don't
worry--there are plenty of experienced folks to
give you a helping hand.)

I hope to see you at these fun, rewarding public
service events.
