Star 
Fishbien/YMCA Community Day and ROAD RACE... and MORE.
http://www.wallingfordymca.org/

SATURDAY - Sept. 19th

We are now just over 1 MONTH AWAY from this fun Public Service Event.

We NEED 12 ARES Team members to support this event.
- Will you be one of them?

BENEFITS
- Coffee and Donuts. (LOL!)
- Sharpen your Communications Skills
- Show your ARES TEAM spirit by joining us.
- Get to meet other ARES Team members
- Provide a visible and valuable service to the Wallingford community.

Bring your VHF/UHF "Go Box".
Past experience has shown that, due to the local topography, a plain stock vanilla 5 watt HT with its original factory antenna cannot be relied upon to get the job done at many locations on the Course.

Suggested Equipment Options:
1) An HT with an aftermarket BIGGER/"Betterer" ANTENNA.
2) An HT with a mag mount antenna on the vehicle
3) A mobile radio and antenna on the vehicle (fixed or mag mount).
4) Other?

DRESS CODE: ARES VESTS and CAPS.
- You NEED to be able to be SEEN and FOUND by the Public quickly.
