It was a busy summer for most of us and as

of attention.

letting your name stand for this position. Contact Wally or Bryce.
Distracted
Driving Regulation
It has come to
the attention of the executive that not all
Police officers
are totally conversant with the newly enacted
regulation and
specifically the exemption to licensed radio
operators.
Therefore we strongly suggest that you carry
a copy of the
regulations in your vehicle at all times.

- Unfortunately we are currently in need of a Secretary; it would
be fantastic if we could find a volunteer for this position to
record the October meeting who would be willing to let their name
stand for the elections in November. It is not a real demanding job
and the executive is always there to assist. So if anyone would be
willing to step up, it would be greatly appreciated! If any of you
know of someone that may just require a nudge, feel free to work on
them! The executive would like to express our appreciation to Tammy
VA6TSS for her efforts and support in this position over the past
year.
- SARA is hosting a Fall flea Market at the EASTSIDE CITY
CHURCH 1320 Abbeydale Dr SE, Calgary on Saturday, October 1, 2011.
Vendors - 10:00 AM - Public 11:00 AM. FARS will have a table,
so if you have any items you would like to part with or would like
to man the table for a short period let us know.
- This fall, FARS will be sponsoring a slow CW net on 40 M for
those that would like to get into this side of our fabulous hobby,
or hone up on your current skills. Watch this site and your emails
for upcoming details.
The November AGM will be held in Calgary rather than Black
Diamond. Location details will be provided here shortly.
