SKYWARN SPOTTER TRAINING UPDATE - SESSION COMING MARCH 28
       (RSVP E-mail Requested - see below)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Cary Amateur Radio Club is going to hold its March 28, 2002 meeting at 
the McKimmon Center, NCSU Campus, Western Blvd., Raleigh, NC, to host the 
NWS Spotter Update by Mr. Rod Gonski, NWS.  The doors will be open at 7:00 
pm, for registration (for your personal certificate from the NWS).  The 
meeting starts at 7:30 pm.  There will be NO formal cost to attend the 
meeting.

The meeting will forego the usual CARC business to devote the entire 
meeting to the Spotter Update.

All interested Radio Amateurs are invited to get "updated" at the meeting. 
Amateurs from Wake, Durham, Chatham, Johnston, Franklin Counties are 
invited to attend this very timely meeting. The hurricane and bad weather 
season is about to start.  Further, local Fire Fighters, Police, and EMTs 
will be invited, too.

Mr. Gonski has asked us to publicize this meeting within the Amateur and 
public service communities ONLY. Please do not "go public" with information 
about this meeting (e.g., TV, newspapers, etc.). But DO talk it up on the 
repeaters, at meetings, etc.

The Cary ARC will be sending letters of invitation to as many Radio clubs 
and Public Service agencies for which we can get addresses.

CARC's only purpose in hosting the meeting is to try to make Mr. Gonski's 
valuable time more effective by gathering as big a group of hams and public 
service persons as we can for his interesting and informative presentation.


RSVP REQUESTED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each person who is planning to attend the meeting, should send an e-mail 
to: N4NC@ARRL.NET, with a Subject of : Spotter Update, giving three things 
in the text:

1.   your last name,
2.   first name, and
3.   one of the following: Amateur callsign OR the public service agency 
you represent (e.g., Fire, Police, EMT, etc.).  Multiple persons may use 
the same e-mail to save time provided the information is given.

PLEASE: This e-mail is vital as the date approaches, since the McKimmon 
Center staff will try to fit us into the most suitable room 
available.  That will reduce our cost!!!

Caution: It is possible that the attendance may be 
considerable.  Therefore, parking space may become a problem.  Carpooling 
is advised wherever you can.
