Sunday 18 May brings the Falkland Parade ... one of the club's two main community service events. This is a fun event and "usually" much less complicated than the Vernon Winter Carnival as it is a smaller parade with a shorter route. NORAC volunteers in the past have all been rewarded with entry to a free pancake breakfast and free tickets to the rodeo if you want.
Felix VA7VOL has kindly volunteered to coordinate the event .... volunteers are needed ... please reach out to Felix directly at victoralphasevenvictoroscarlimaatgmaildotcom.
Confirming that Al Boyd of the RAC will present a brief overview of the RAC plus a time for Q&A on Monday 28 April at 7pm PST. Zoom coordinates have been emailed to all NORAC members and surrounding clubs have been invited to join as well.
The RAC does lots of really valuable stuff for amateur radio in Canada. Join this meeting to get caught up on what's new.
