CT Region 3 ARES

All, the following message is from George Lillenstein, AB1GL, ADEC Region 3 East.

We really need help for this event.

**********

I am writing to the ARES leaders in the Region 3-East area for help.

There is an MS Bike Ride that will be held in Colchester on August 28th and 29th.    This will be for the same group we helped on June 6th from Griffin Office Park in Windsor.   Your help then was really appreciated, and we hope to implement some lessons we learned from that previous experience.

We need radio operators primarily for the 4 SAG wagons, a few shadows, and a communications van.   There will be two routes, a 25-mile and a 75-mile, on two days — Saturday and Sunday. The longer ride starts at 8:30am on Saturday and 7:30am on Sunday.

Wayne Gronlund, N1CLV, has agreed to help with the planning, and he and I are hoping to split Net Control duties so each of us can spend one day at Boxboro and one on the ride.

I hope you can find it in your hearts to volunteer for at least one of the two days,

Details about the ride are available at bikectn.nationalmssociety.org, look for the Bike MS – Cardio Express ride at Priam Vineyard in Colchester.

To volunteer as a radio operator, send an email to me at AB1GL@arrl.net or to Wayne Gronlund, N1CLV@mac.com

Please communicate this to your town’s hams.

Thanks.

Region 3 ARES has received the following message from Daye Hyatt, District Emergency Coordinator for Region 5 in CT.  This event is part of the HUGE charity “Bike New York”.

Attention all good hams
