Thanks to Tom Smith for capturing some of the Action at the April 24th Picnic.

We need an idea as to how many folks will be coming for the potluck, as well as what you plan to bring, so that we do not have 400 desserts.

Please use the form on the right. I will update the form as I get your responses.

Guideline:
Please note what others have already signed up to bring, consider

cheeses (limited to about 2 people)
the lettuce, tomatoes, onions (and limits that to 2-3 people).
the rest, to bring side dishes.

Thank you, Jon Otto webmaster for gvarc.us & Tom and Sharon

26 June 2022 - Silent Key

From Gary "Beetle" Bailey, K7GSB
I was saddened to hear from Sue Brooks that her husband, Jerry Brooks, W1IDP passed away on 16 June 2022.

Jerry had been battling serious health issues since January and succumbed to those challenges while checked into the Inpatient Hospice - Peppi's House facility at TMC.

~~~ Silent Key ~~~
George Schouweiler, N0RCL, passed away at his home Tuesday (8/31/2021) .
George was 88 and the older brother of Gene Schouweiler, W0KAD, past president and long time member of the GVARC who passed away in 2018.
