Our June club meeting will be held during Field Day (Saturday, June 29th) starting at 6PM in the Rotary Pavilion at Maury County Park. We will not meet this month on the 2nd Tuesday as we normally do. We will resume our usual club meeting schedule in July.
This Saturday morning (April 27) we have two events scheduled. To coordinate the events, the club breakfast time and location have been changed. The breakfast will be at 9:00 at McDonald’s at 110 Bear Creek Pike (near the intersection with Hwy 31).
Everyone is invited to attend a workshop on building a 24 hr deployment pack at 10:00 AM under the Rotary Shelter at Riverwalk Park. For that event, we will cover the list of items for a 24 hour deployment pack that is recommended by ARRL for ARES deployments. Our Emergency Coordinator, George KM4D will bring checklists for everyone plus he will have examples of the items on the list for his pack. Greg Bearden (Middle TN Emergency Preparedness Webpage moderator) will be attending to show his packs and to offer some expert advice and answer questions on specific items. These packs are not only useful for ARES deployments but also can be used for emergency evacuation from your home or unforeseen trouble when on the road.
The location for the event is convenient walking or very short driving distance to downtown Columbia which offers several restaurants and shops and is very pleasant in the Spring if we have a decent weather day. We should be finishing around lunchtime to take advantage of this. Everyone is welcome to bring your own pack, bring your family, learn a few things, and enjoy a spring day in Columbia. For those that can’t make it, we plan to upload a video of the event onto YouTube.
