Annual SAARC Picnic
Well a year has passed and it�s time again for our annual club picnic. We will be holding the picnic on our regular meeting night, Tuesday August 15, however, we will meet at 6:00 pm instead of our normal 7:30 meeting time. The picnic will take place at the Petoskey Waterfront Park just behind the City Hall building. The club will be providing all the meat for the grill along with all the fixings, drinks, and plates. All we need you to bring is a dish to pass. Please call Maxine at 242-0050 to let her know what you will be bringing and how many people will be coming along. Hope to see you there.

SAARC VEC Exam Dates
Here are the dates for our upcoming test sessions. We will now be holding all our sessions in room 106 of Petoskey High School. Please make a note of it and please note that the Technician Class exam has changed as of July 1, 2006. If you know anyone who is studying for their first license, be sure to check that they have a copy of the current question pool so they have a better chance of passing the first time.

All sessions will be in room 106 of Petoskey High School at 10:00 am.
Remember to bring a photo ID, a copy of your license and, if applicable, a copy of your "Certificate of Successful Completion of Element" you received at your last session. You will also need $14, a pen and pencil, and a calculator if you think you'll need it.
