New club membership ID cards will be made in March. Due to space requirements of the Red Cross the club radio room may have to be relocated to the second floor of the Red Cross building. Certificates of appreciation were presented to several members for their service during the Hurricane Floyd emergency. The HF antenna in use for the club's radio room is on loan from the Red Cross. We will have to relinquish use of this antenna soon, and volunteers will be needed to construct a new one.
Tornado season is here.
Volunteers are needed to drive the new Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle. Sumter County has been added to the list of coutinues managed by the Columbia Red Cross office. The Red Cross got a new ERV in December. ERV stands for Emergency Response Vehicle. It is to be used for disasters on the national level.
