Welcome to the New Year!
I am looking forward to a productive year, both training- and preparation-wise. As you all know, we are currently fundraising for a communications trailer project. Between the hard work of the trailer committee and the support of our community, I am expecting a successful push for funding. Toward the end of this month we can steer that project toward the planning and building stage. If you haven’t had the opportunity yet, please consider contributing as you are able to the trailer project.
The drilling and training prospects for this year are already in process. Eli W7ELI will be coordinating with our partners in County emergency management to ensure that we have the most effective training regime possible. Our first training will be at this month’s general membership meeting, with a drill to follow on February 7. Overall, the goal of our activities this year is to reinforce our current operating skills, and grow our ability to operate the Winlink system. Let’s start the year off with a bang. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the January general membership meeting.
