Greetings and salutations from the Northeast corner of the Buckeye State.  Can you believe this weather?  60 degrees one day and 35 the next!  I think Old Man Winter and Mother Nature need counseling.  ;-)

Sunday, December 8th, Jackie N8JMW and I are heading to Austintown (Mahoning County) to visit the 20/9 Amateur Radio Club for their first ever combined craft show and spaghetti dinner.  The dinner runs from 11AM to 5PM and the craft show will run from 11AM to 4PM.  I think it's a great idea to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy a wonderful meal all in the same place.  See the attached announcement below or visit their website www.20over9.org for more details.
Scott Yonally has made some improvements to the ARES page on the Ohio Section website www.arrl-ohio.org.  Let me know whatcha think.

Saturday March 15th, 2014 from 10AM to 3PM is the Ohio ARES Leadership Meeting at the State of Ohio Emergency Operations Center.  All ARES leaders including Assistant Emergency Coordinators and Official Emergency Stations are asked to attend.
September 12, 13, and 14, 2014 have been selected for ARES Training Camp at Camp Falling Rock in Newark, Ohio.  I have bounced these dates off of the Emergency Coordinators and District Emergency Coordinators and haven't seen any scheduling conflicts.  Now I am asking for your help.  Please review your calendar and advise of any scheduling conflicts.  Thanks.  Anyone interested in serving on staff or willing to be an instructor are asked to contact me at w8dec@arrl.net.

Speaking of ARES Training Camp...I have been posting a few menu items for training camp on my Facebook page.  Take a look at my Facebook page www.facebook.com/w8dec and let me know whatcha think.
That's all for this week.  Thanks for everything you do for amateur radio.  Have a nice weekend.
