Members,
Summer is still with us for a while yet. The Club has the following activities planned for August as we enjoy the last month of summer.
Saturday, August 8th is the Club’s Hams and Eggs Breakfast. It will be held at the Butlers Golf Course Rock Run Inn, 800 Rock Run Road, Elizabeth 15037 starting at 9:30 am. Please join us for a great breakfast and great company.
Tuesday, August 11th will be our next Club board meeting at 7pm via Zoom. Jim Bricker N3JHB will issue an email to the board members concerning the agenda and the Zoom log-in.
Thursday, August 13th will be our operations night beginning at 7pm at the Lincoln Borough VFD 184 Social Hall, 4326 Liberty Way, Elizabeth 15037. We use the Club call W3OC which allows Technician and General Class operators to operate on all bands (Extra Class operators will be there to assist). If you or someone you know wants to learn more about operations, please come out and we will help.
Tuesday, August 18th will be our next Club meeting at 7pm at the Blaine Hill VFD Main Hall, 409 Oxford Ave, Elizabeth, PA 15037. The major subject will be preparations for the Club picnic.
Saturday, August 22nd will be the Club Picnic at White Oak Park, Chestnut Pavilion. This is at the corner of Rt48 and McClintock Rd. The picnic starts about 1 pm with dinner a little later. This year’s menu includes hamburgers, hotdogs, corn the cob, macaroni salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. The Club will provide the pop and water and you may bring your own beer. If you would like to bring a side dish or desert, please let Joann Lentz (lazydaze53@comcast.net) know.
