Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club. Vice President

• Welcome to December! As we close out the year I’d like to thank everyone in the club for helping out to make such an awesome community possible. From our monthly VE sessions and club meetings to once-a-year events like Hamfest, Field Day, and the Holiday Party, it’s the amazing teamwork that makes all that possible. It’s been an excellent two years serving as the club vice president, and the number of people stepping up to give insightful presentations about a variety of topics keep people interested in what we do.

  Just ahead is our annual Holiday Party, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all and spending an evening together with warm spirits. I’d also like to congratulate those that are taking upon positions of leadership within the club next year, knowing that you’ll all do your best.

  When I joined SFARC I joined a community that really cares. A group of hams that went above and beyond to create a club that did more than just amateur radio. By helping out at various events I got to know many others and formed lasting friendships. In the year ahead I hope to continue lending a hand whenever possible while transitioning into a new life as I welcome my fiancee (and soon to be wife) into my family. I look forward to being together with her and showing her what a wonderful club we’ve got in our neck of the woods.

  To everyone out there, have a wonderful Holiday season, blessings to you and your family, and may the new year bring many more unforgettable memories.
