May 2, 2020 Picnic Update
The Coronavirus has forced us once again to make a change in the picnic.
To insure the health of our members the date of the picnic has been changed to October 24. The place and all the other arrangements remain the same, just the date has changed.
If you would like a refund on your BBQ reservation please email Jim W5IM and he will refund your reservation. Other wise he will carry it over to the October date.
Due to fire damage at our regular picnic site in Beyersivlle the lodge building will not be available. A new site was found in nearby Rockdale. Information is now on the picnic page, with more to come.
