Sorry for the late notice but it has been a busy day. So........ Many of you in the club have been asking about helping provide communications for support for Hurricane Beryl relief. Here is you chance to provide that support whether you are in ARES, RACES, or no group what-so-ever. As you can see by Lee's e-mail, you can even use GMRS to help provide support. Lee needs between 16 to 40 hams to work the 8 to 20 Points of Distribution (PODs). The PODs are used to pass out food, water, clothing and other necessities to families that were affected by Hurricane Beryl. I have worked the PODs in the past and it is a great feeling helping people that have lost a part of their lives due to a storm. If you are interested and have the required equipment, please give Lee a call 346-246-8180 or send him an e-mail at leema...@me.com. Give Lee a call if you would like to put your radio and license to a great use! Mike Hardwick, N5VCXPresidentBrazos Valley Amateur Radio Club713-826-6917
