As a club, we have 3 things we are doing –
Country Store consignment table – bring your gear to our store, set a price, and we will do our best to sell it for you! The commission cost is 10%.
Security – The team is mostly set and organized (Thank you TJ!), if you are willing to participate for a few hours on this task, we could always use a few extra hands. Please contact us!
VE Testing Session – 10am – 1pm, we will have a VE Testing session running. We are also looking for any additional volunteers to participate as VE’s. Time is running out to get registered as a VE through examtools.org, it does take a few days to become approved, you must do this now if you want to help!
If you are wanting to get your license or upgrade, please preregister through our hamstudy.org event!

Thank you to all our volunteers and I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!
