[NCARC] Emergency communications opportunity

[Steve Henry]

Hi NCARC ......

Enjoy meeting other hams and making connections happen?  This is a request
for Saturday January 23rd 3-4 pm for an NCARC spokesperson (or
spokespeople)in Denver... Here's your chance to be an ambassador for NCARC/
ARES D-10/ ham radio.  I'm not available but perhaps someone else from NCARC
might be especially given we've put together several classes for the LDS
church in N. Colorado.  If interested please contact Angee directly.

Mr. Henry,

My name is Angee Baune.  My husband and I are ARRL members/instructors.  
We belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and are 
currently serving in Regional (which covers all of the Denver area and 
several states) and Stake (covers most of the Adams County area dipping 
into weld county a bit) levels as emergency communications specialists.  
As part of that assignment, we teach licensing classes, hold face-to 
-faces and help local families and Ward level(consists of several 
neighborhoods) church groups create and implement emergency plans (on a 
layman's level - those with only a five watt radio).  Our stake has 
grown from 3 hams three years ago to over 85 now and still growing.  
There are other stakes all over the Denver area that we are assisting as 
well and our numbers (in ham operators) have grown to over 350.  Many 
obtained their licenses to assist family and church in emergencies and 
that is all.  However we are trying to offer them opportunities in which 
to meet folks from the general ham community and encourage them to get 
involved with their local groups.

We  are holding a Face-to-Face meeting on *January 23rd from 3-4pm at 
the LDS Church located at 100 E Malley Drive in Northglenn* (Denver 
Colorado North Stake Center directly across from Boondocks).  We 
normally have about 30-50 in attendance, but expect many more as we have 
invited members from all over the Denver area (Lakewood, Arvada, 
Boulder, Castle Rock, Parker, Littleton, Louisville, Greeley, Longmont, 
Fort Collins, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn just to name a few).
We are inviting clubs and organizations from around the area to come and 
spend 5 minutes explaining what their group does and then we will have 
tables for the groups to display their information.  We see this as a 
mutually benefiting opportunity for both our members and the groups who 
attend.  It will give our members an opportunity to find something that 
interests them and an opportunity to reach out to their communities as 
well as offering the groups/clubs and opportunity to gain new membership.

Would you be interested in coming and representing the Northern Colorado 
Amateur Radio Club?  If you are not available, do you know anyone who 
might be interested in helping us out?
