SKYWARN Representative at Kid's Day 2012 Event

The Lakes Area
Amateur Radio Club will sponsor their second  "Kid's
Day" event at
the Darien Town Hall this sunday January 8th from Noon till 6 PM.

Milwaukee Area Skywarn Associate Greg Schulz (W9AWX) will also be
there to explain
the benefits of amateur radio and its strong
relationship with area storm spotters.

Kid's Day is designed
to encourage young people on how amateur radio can be
an 
enjoyable hobby and also show the essential benefits
it provides during emergency
and disaster situations when all other
communication systems fail. 

Amateur radio is about
communications, but it also expands on a young person's 
math, science,
electrical, and geography skill sets. Things they will need as adults.

Free and open to the public, 12N to 6PM, at the Darien Town Hall in
Walworth County.
Handouts, flyers, on-air radio demonstrations, County
Communications Van, amateur
radio club representatives,
and possible contact with the International Space Station.
