If you missed the last meeting you missed a great speaker.  A gentleman from the Bay City Police Dept was there telling about a program called Citizens on Patrol.

It was suggested by Dean that maybe they could put together a crash course for just the hams to allow us to work with the police.   

We could be involved in Search and Rescue of children, Alzhimers pa

tients, etc.  And many other things.

I think Dean wanted to just drive the skid car, but what a neat idea.  Lets give it some consideration.

Thanks Joe KC8GTZ for setting us up with the entertainment for the evening.

If you have any ideas for speakers or entertainment your input would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a friend

who specializes in an interesting topics?  We have enough talented people in this club someone ought to come up with some ideas!
