[TVARC] TVARC: "Radio on the Square 2017" - Looking for Volunteer Helpers

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC's Maillist,

Tom Grosvenor (NV1U) has volunteered to be the club's Event Chair for
"Radio on the Square 2017" (RoS).  However, Tom is going to need your help
in order to make this event a success.  To volunteer to help at this event,
click HERE <http://www.k4vrc.com/radio-on-the-square.html>, or go to the
club's website & use the pull-down selection list under the *"Sign up for
Activities"* menu item near the top of the homepage.

Tom needs you to sign-up to help accomplish the many tasks that need to get
done to pull off this event.  These tasks include planning, setting up,
operating, staffing information tables, taking down, etc.

RoS is an annual, club-sponsored event held in The Villages.  This year it
will be held on Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. ET, at
Lake Sumter Landing Market Square.

RoS' goals/objectives are to:

   - Introduce ham radio to the public;
   - Encourage interested members of the public to enroll in club-sponsored
   licensing classes to become a ham;
   - Help get new, or upgraded, hams on the air; and
   - Provide an opportunity to experiment with equipment & antennas in a
   non-contest (non-competitive) environment.

The timing of this year's RoS is fortuitous as it will he held on the
Saturday (Nov. 25th) after Thanksgiving (Nov. 23rd).  This is fortuitous
for a couple of reasons.  First, some/many snowbirds will have returned to
The Villages; so the number of people potentially interested in coming to
our RoS is increased.  Second, relatives/friends from out-of-town may be
visiting their counterparts in The Villages and this could also increase
the pool of interested people willing to stop-by our RoS event.  Also,
younger people (grandkids) could also be visiting their relatives
(grandparents) and this might give RoS the opportunity to introduce ham
radio to the younger generation.

73,

Tony Hackenberg/K4QR
TVARC's Secretary
