President's Corner
October 2024
The month of October is our Club’s turn to provide volunteers for the Ensor Museum. Thank you to the members what have already signed up. Ted has told me there are still slots open to choose from. So, act now to be sure you can pick the Saturday or Sunday that works best for you. Each time you volunteer your name is placed in a drawing for a gift certificate to Associated Radio. The more times you sign up, the better your chance of winning the $100.
The other big event at Ensor is the auction. This year the auction will be on Saturday, October 12th. Bring your items that you have carefully selected from your ham shack Saturday morning. Also, be sure to pick up your bidder number from the clerk.
There is also a raffle with three chances to win up to a total of $1,000 in gift certificates. You may contact Vince KEØCGR for tickets or purchase them from the Club website.
This is the 20th anniversary of the Ensor auction. Let’s make it a success!
Please note that our October 11th meeting will be at Ensor. Bring your own chair. If the weather cooperates, we will have a campfire which you will be able to cook food over should you desire. Because it is a city park, no alcohol is allowed.
