The delay in getting this message out has been due to uncertainty in the
location and route for the Walk (where have we heard that before?).  Much of
this has been cleared up, but it has left us with a very short time to get
organized.  Your help is needed for this event which we have supported for
many years.



The date is Sunday, 10 April.  We will assemble at 1000 on Boston Common
near the intersection of Beacon St and Charles St.  The Walk route will
proceed west on the Boston side of the Charles River, cross to Cambridge, go
east on Memorial Drive and back to Boston.  Our tasks should be completed by
early afternoon.  The usual hearty lunch will be provided for all
volunteers.



Hams are needed to staff some checkpoints, several hazardous or confusing
locations, some shadows, possibly a mobile unit, and Net Control.  A 2-meter
hand-held should do the job.  A dual band radio may be helpful, but not
essential.



If you are new and want to get more public service experience, this is an
excellent event to get your feet wet.  The MS Walk is a low impact
opportunity to learn the ropes.



Your assistance is valuable.  Please let me know promptly if you can help.
I will get more details to those who volunteer as soon possible.  If you
have already volunteered, bear with me and reply to this, also.  Get back to
me if you have any questions or would like to recommend another ham to join
us.
