Morning Chuck, All

Rob Macedo let us know that the Easthampton Class is already full. We are working on a Class in Westfield. I proposed it to Rob and we are trying to organize it. Location would be the
Westfield Masonic Building
72 Broad Street
Westfield, MA 01085

No Other Details are available, and nothing is confirmed, just yet.
There will be additional resources involved and tuned towards hams, possibly with a Net Control aspect.

I will provide more information as soon as we can lock in the date and time.

Most Respectfully,
Brother Al

Morning Chuck, All

Rob Macedo let us know that the Easthampton Class is already full. We are working on a Class in Westfield. I proposed it to Rob and we are trying to organize it. Location would be the
Westfield Masonic Building
72 Broad Street
Westfield, MA 01085

No Other Details are available, and nothing is confirmed, just yet.
There will be additional resources involved and tuned towards hams, possibly with a Net Control aspect.

I will provide more information as soon as we can lock in the date and time.
