Help keep the newsletter interesting to all by sending in your article for the PCARS newsletter. And, don’t forget the in-focus, large format photos as well!!!
Let all of PCARS know what projects or ham operations are keeping you busy.

It would be very much appreciated if you send your inputs in prior to the deadline.

That will be this Thursday – September 28th. Plan on doors opening around 6:00 PM and we’ll close up between 9:30 – 10:00 PM. I’m declaring this PCARS “Mini-Fest” night. If you’ve got a few things you would like to move on to a new home, bring them along and set them up on a table – we’ve got the Radio Room, the “social” room, and Bay 3, so we can accommodate several sellers (Just don’t bring too much). Even if you don’t have stuff to sell, stuff a few dollars $$$ in your pockets and come on over and check it out – you might find just what you were looking for!

I’ll be bringing along all the fixings for root beer floats just in case you need a snack! Hope to see you there.
