\nActions Taken and in progress<\/p>\n
I am a member of a small group of club members that has been brainstorming ideas for activities aimed at promoting Ham Radio widely in the Region. The group has identified the Museum of Art and History (MAH) as the best location for the primary event and a weekend date in September to be determined. Funding is important and could limit the scope of our events but we are optimistic based on certain pledges received so far.<\/p>\n
