Tis the Season!.. Not it's not Christmas time already, but with multiple community events and emergency drills looming on the horizon, it is time to check the dates of your CPR, First-Aid and other certifications that may have lapsed or be close to expiring, and renew them as needed.

8 Jul. - Elections for CARC club officers were held. Pat Traber, KE7QFG (Treasurer) and Erv Perelstein, KE7QFI (Secretary) were nominated to serve consecutive terms in their current positions. They accepted the nominations and were reelected unanimously. Mike Blair, KF7BRW, volunteered for, was nominated and unanimously elected as Vice-President to secede out-going Vice-President Joe Hobart, W7LUX.
