A Sneak Preview
The New V.A. Auditorium is Taking Shape
Back at our temporary meeting room, almost 45 in the house
A team effort...Jeanette ran the the board meeting...Bill runs the club meeting
Jan introduced the topic. John Sebastian gave the presentation. It was retro time with a demonstration of packet radio. Now grown up since its start in the early 1980s, it is well refined to be a reliable message tool during emergencies.
Another successful event as the club provides public service communication
