Picnic Sept 14th
Time to get the picnic basket out. Our Fall picnic will be Monday, September 14th. Talk it up among your friends and let’s have fun. The location will be the Day park pavilion we’ve used for several years. See directions below. There’s road work being done on Pleasant Valley Road but there shouldn’t be any problem getting into the park.
Our picnic is open to everyone. The club will provide the fire and condiments. Bring whatever you would like to cook on the grill and your refreshment. Alcohol is not permitted in the park. In the past, some folks have brought dessert and other snacks and dishes to share — which is always appreciated, but not required. Fast food wrappers have been seen at the picnics. The Pavilion has electrical outlets that can be used for food warmers, coffee maker, lighting, etc.
The BIG pavilion shelter is behind the swimming pool at Day Park, just east of Tri-C. We will gather about 5:30 pm and will try to listen to the 145.410 repeater in case you get lost.
We’re hoping that all of our new members will be there and give us all a chance to meet them in a totally different environment. It will be great fun! See you there.
Directions: From Ridge and Pleasant Valley, the location of our regular meetings, go West on Pleasant Valley Road past York Road. You’ll pass the entrance to Cuyahoga Community College, then three roads that go into other areas of the park and the city maintenance garage. Turn right (north) when at the park sign (below) at Sesquicentennial Drive. We’ll be in the large shelter called the Pavilion, behind the swimming pool.
A note from Bob, KE8UV
Get yourself a treasure and help the club at the same time. If you remember the club auctions we used to have at some meetings, bring a few dollars with you to the picnic meeting on 9/14/15 at the usual place in Day Park.

Q: Why isn’t this list complete?
A: This info comes from clubs and organizations who are savvy enough to send promotional fliers or emails. Many are not good marketers and just hope that you find out about their event. There is a list on the ARRL site.
If the PRC had a “Hamfest/ event” contributor we would gladly publish the information. Collecting this information is not a difficult task and would not be a large time commitment. Could you volunteer? I or others can advise you as to where to begin. Keep in mind that providing this service to the club will look great on your resume!
