10 hams assisted with marshalling during the Centennial parade.
The club received a donation from Dr. Schneider for our assistance at the Rugby

In fact they have “lost our letter” again for the 3rd time.
Remembrance Day—Oct 11—the club will sponsor a wreath in remembrance of the
radio operators. Dave, VE3LMU, will
contact the Legion to order, and arrange for a member to lay the wreath at the
cenotaph.

Pumpkin Patrol—Oct 30/31—we will assist again this year.
Times will be finalized closer to the date.
