May 2025
With April behind us, seemingly it took a bit of time for those “April Showers” to arrive. Now, let us take in the beauty of the blooming May flowers.
Now it is May and the Ensor Museum reopens. We help by supplying volunteers to greet visitors throughout the month of May. Ensor is only open on the weekends and two volunteers are needed for each day.
Additionally, Ensorfest is on May 10. The SFT Club has asked for help providing volunteers for it. Two shifts of volunteers are needed to fill a variety of positions. The first shift runs noon to 2 PM and the second from 2 PM to 4 PM thus allowing all volunteers to have some time to enjoy the event.
For both Museum and Ensorfest volunteers, Ted, NØTEK, has a Signup Genius. You can contact him directly or visit the Club website to sign up. Each time you volunteer, you will be entered to win a $100 gift certificate to Associated Radio. Two certificates are available, one for those helping the Museum and one for those helping with Ensorfest.
As for meetings, first, thanks to Tim, KBØYQN, for the build project. Those in attendance seemed to really enjoy building the tape measure antennas. For our May 9 meeting, after business we will have an introduction to the new website launched last month. Our May 23 meeting will be a foxhunt and cookout. The transmitter will be turned on at 6:30 PM with instructions given via the 145.29 repeater. There is no need to report to the church if you do not wish.
