[W1SMH] That Time Of Year:

[bruce alexander]

It's fall.  The way I know that for sure is that we had the first
organizational meeting today for the 2011 DANA Santa Parade.  This year the
parade will take place on Sunday Afternoon, November 27th.  It will kick off
at 3PM from the St. Mary's parking lot, & will go down North Washington
Street to  south Washington Street, ending at the park near town hall.
Plans for the exact route still are a bit uncertain, but will firm up in the
near future. 
 
Last year we attempted to improve on the Parade Start, & had some degree of
success.  This year we are going to tackle the parade end, & hope for
similar results.
 
We are being asked for between 15-20 hams, 20 being more desirable.  We will
need to report by 1:30PM, at St. Mary's, for further assignment.  If you are
interested in assisting this year, & I hope you will be, you should contact
me either on 2MTRS, 147.195PL127.3, or UHF 447.975pl88.5, (617) 721-5695/,
mailto:ka1ig at verizon.net/.  I return messages, & answer E-Mail, so please
don't give up when trying to reach me.
 
I expect there will be updates as the season progresses.
 
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.  
 
Cordially:
