      Hello to all,
      
             I hope this note finds all of you well and that everyone is      enjoying their winter holidays. I am writing to remind everyone      that, due to Monday Jan 2nd being the observed New Years Holiday      by federal and state offices, the first RACES/ACS net of 2017 will      be held Monday evening, January 9th. 
      
            Thanks again to all who checked into Last month's nets. We      have been seeing some new call signs pop up with an increased      frequency and I am hoping that 2017 will show a continued increase      in interest in our nets.   
      
            For the Region 2 operators and Net Control team members, I      would like to know who may be available to assist from the Region      2 bunker or who may be able to assist as a NCO from home. Any      operators who would like to take a net, please respond and let me      know if and how you might be participating. While we do try to      keep a log at Region 2 Headquarters, it would be very helpful for      Net Control Stations to please e-mail their net reports to me at WC1MAB at gmail.com      in the days following the nets.
      
            As always, if anyone has been interested in participating as      Net Control Stations, the call for operators is an open one. This      is a great skill to practice and can be a big help for our region      in the event that the State EOC is operating in lieu of the Region      Office, but communications still need to happen. If any local      RACES operators who have participated in nets recently are      interested in acting as NCO please let me know and we will see how      we can get you into the fray. As always, if anyone is receiving      this note and does not wish to receive further messages of this      kind, please reply and let me know. Also, if you know someone who      would benefit from being on this list, please have them contact me      at WC1MAB at gmail.com and I will      add them to this distribution. Thank you all!
      
            If anyone has any questions or comments I can be reached by      e-mail or cell phone. Thanks for being a part of our team and I      look forward to hearing back on who can participate this month.
      
      Sincerely,
