Good evening all! Christmas party time is approaching next week!
Just a couple of fast reminders as we approach our meeting next week. 🙂
Our Christmas Party is scheduled for 12/12 at 7PM in place of our regular meeting.
I talked to Johnnie a few minutes ago, and he has received only ONE response for the potluck stuff for the Christmas Party.
If you plan on bringing a potluck item, please reach out to Johnnie (or to Casey, and I’ll relay), soon as you know. He is keeping the list of items being brought, so that we aren’t duplicating up, and coming home with a surplus of beans like the beanpocalypse. 😛
December Board Meeting, per bylaws is being called for 12/12 at 6:30PM
Hope to see you there! 🙂 Merry Christmas all!
UPDATE: The spotter training is actually November 16 at 6PM at the Pell City Civic Center.
Good day!
Tonight at 7PM, at the National Weather Service, ALERT will vote on the Constitutional Amendment from our September meeting.
Additionally, please be advised that Mike Shaw/Bald Rock Amateur Radio Club is heading up a spotter training with Brian Peters, in Pell City, on November 16.
Hope to see you tonight, and at the spotter training!
