[MIham] RESEND/CORRECTED Events MID-MONTH SUPPLEMENT for the WM Amateur Radio community

[Jack Amelar]

It has been pointed out to me a couple errors on the mid-month supplement I emailed earlier. The HollandARC E.A.T. meetings are moved to the 4th Tuesday, not Thursday. The date, April 23 was correct.

The Red Cross Smoke Alarm install is Friday, May 17, not 18

The following resend has been corrected.
Thanks to Tom KB8TYJ for catching the errors and notifying me.

supply medical communications for the Tulip Time Parades.
Wednesday, May 8,  we need 15 amateur radio operators
Thursday May 9, we need 15 amateur radio operators 
and the big parade on Saturday, May 11. For this one, we need 25 amateur radio operators
If you have volunteered in the past, and would like to again, please 
email me direct. If you would like the same spot, I will try to decipher 
my notes, but a reminder about your tactical unit number, or your
