The
Midwest Section held our Annual Get Together this
year in West Bend, Iowa at the Grotto of the
Redemption. Construction was started in 1912 as
Father Paul Dobberstein labored 42 years, winter and
summer, setting ornamental rocks and gems into
concrete. The Grotto is a composite of nine separate
grottos, each portraying a scene in the life of
Christ. We started with a tour, had lunch, then the
annual meeting. Members
attending in the back row, Frank AG�M and wife
Vicky, Keith WA�JGT, Neale K�LHJ, Ken KB�QBU,
Roger W�ZMU and wife Joyce, Cindy K9IYO and husband
Les, W9MGM. Front row, Craig KC�YHU and wife Barb
KD�NEZ, Ken�s wife Cora, Tom AA�LF, and Max W�QCB.
The fellowship was enjoyed by everyone.
Membership
in the Midwest increased by a couple members to
include Roger, W�ZMU who is welcomed with open arms
and now resides in Pella, Iowa. Roger graciously
accepted the position of Secretary for the Midwest
Section. He also volunteered to collect prayer
request and distribute them to section members.
Another active member from Roger�s neck of the
woods, Dennis KK�DJ, who lives just outside of
Pella Iowa.
Dennis,
KK�DJ, and I attended the 3900 club Hamboree in
Bellevue, Nebraska on September 27th
passing out information about ARMS. Any Section who
would like to set up a display at a local hamfest in
their area, please contact AA�LF, Tom Hauskins for
assistance. The next hamfest is scheduled at
Davenport, Iowa on November 2nd, 2014
