In light of the recent tragedy involving two of our fellow Amateur Radio Operators, we want to take this opportunity to offer our deepest sympathy to all of their friends and family.  Additionally, we feel it would be more fitting and appropriate for us to re-schedule the RACES meeting to Tuesday July 22, 2008 in honor of them.  Please note this change on your calendars.

 

Please also join us in remembering their families in prayer.  Thank you for your support and understanding during this time of loss.
