At this monthly meeting we are privileged to receive traffic control training from a certified teacher. Please clear everything else on your calendar and join us for this very important training.
Amazing how quickly the year goes by. Over the next few months I’ll try to add updates from the 22 some-odd events that happened between Willow Creek 2010 and now… But in the meanwhile, Willow Creek 2011 is almost upon us and has moved to a new weekend! This subsequently removes the previous conflict for volunteers that couldn’t decide between helping on Willow Creek, the Race to Robie Creek or the Riggins Jet Boat Races. Mark your calendars now for Saturday, April 9 for Willow Creek 2011. RSVP to myself, K6LOR or Russ, N7SMA. More details to follow…
We have both the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Boise and the Zeitgiest Half Marathon. Typically each even would take us to the limits of our available resources, however, with both events running at the same time, we need as many volunteers as possible. Contact Russ, N7SMA at n7sma@arrl.net or AJ, K6LOR at k6lor@arrl.net ASAP.

Thank you to REACT Life Member Tom Jenkins, N7VOI for directly supporting the safety and security of the SOWWGs Wednesday, February 4th during the downtown events in Boise. Another example of REACT’s continued commitment to providing practical, useful public service while using our communications skills to further increase our value as volunteers!
