Annual Fall Picnic a Success

The annual Fall picnic was September 15, 2007 at Claremore Lake. Though moving targets are difficult to count, there were between 45 and 50 friends that passed through the shelter, even if not though the feed line. People from the green country area and just over the Kansas border attended. Hamburgers (beef and deer), hot dogs and bacon wrapped chicken livers were cooked by the team of John Harwell (KD5NAQ) and Larry England (KC5UOQ). I would like to thank the gentleman who left a $20 donation to be applied toward the meat provided by the club.

It’s also time to pay annual dues. Single memberships are $20 and family $25. You need not be a licensed ham to be a member but interest in the hobby (even if vicariously through your spouse) is suggested. You must be a paid member to have voting privileges at the club meetings however you need not be a paid member to attend club functions or business meetings (guests are always welcomed warmly).
