 | HAMFEST Location Change! |
 Because of a problem with access to the Alcazar Shrine Temple for Friday's vendor set-up, we have made a decision to relocate our hamfest to Garrett Coliseum, which is where we used to have it.
The address is 1555 Federal Dr. in Montgomery. Talk-in is on 146.84. Vendors can set-up as usual on Friday afternoon and Sat. morning. Sorry for the confusion. This problem arose today.

| April 2012 MARC Meeting |
 MARC members,
At the April MARC meeting, we will continue our disaster preparedness theme with a guest speaker. Mike Stodenmier, director of the Montgomery City/County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) will be speaking about his office's role and how we, as amateur radio operators fit into EMA disaster response plans. Mike will also discuss his plans for integrating amateur radio into upcoming city events and EMA drills. This will be your chance to talk with Mike one-on-one and to ask questions about emergency management's plans for dealing with various disaster scenarios.
Also, Ken and I will be sporting the latest in MARC apparel. We have been working with AKD on a new Field Day T-Shirt design as well as a MARC polo shirt and we'll have both available for you to see and purchase at the April meeting. We will be kicking off the Field Day fund raiser by offering Field Day T-shirts for sale.
This will be a great meeting so please make plans to come out and join us Monday night.
