The Spark Gap

November

Lets start off this month's news with a couple phrases:

It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question. -Eugene Lonesco
I have lots of the tid bits I call pearls of wisdom. -Unknown

What a year it has been! It is important to remember that the year wouldn't be what it was without all our wonderful members and their help for events. Our Event Coordinator wouldn't have much to do if we didn't give 110% and get asked to return each year for things we do help on, discovering some new events to help with along the way. This month is about giving thanks, which is something we should be doing every day of the year, and be thankful for what we do have.

We had a great turnout for our annual fish fry. This was the first one at our new location. We outgrew our old location, and we want to thank our old host for the activities we did have out there. This new location at Slate Branch Church allows us to have all our events at one place. Our next event is our annual Christmas pot luck that we hold in lieu of the monthly meeting. The Christmas party will be on December 13 from 12:00-2PM

Last month we were also invited back to the Technology Showcase at the Center for Rural Development. There was quite a bit to see in there including a helicopter, farm equipment, a couple of vehicles, a little bit about manufacturing, as well as our emergency communications trailer. There was a good turnout, with more people coming to talk to us than the past couple years. Hopefully we can help the younger generation get some interest into radio. Next year we have plans for an even better demonstration.
