The May program of the WARC will include a presentation and discussion led by Bob Bilder, Winona County Emergency Management Coordinator. The program will include a briefing on the current organizational structure within Emergency Management, a summery of lessons learned from significant emergency events in the past year, and a tour of the remodeled Winona County Emergency Management facilities. The role of amateur radio in emergency communications will be an underlying theme of the briefing.

The program will begin at 7:00 PM on Thursday, May 21, at the Winona County Courthouse Annex, 220 West Third Street. All amateur radio operators and other interested persons are encouraged to attend. It is not necessary to be a member of the Winona Amateur Radio Club to participate.

There also will be some planning for Field Day 2009 and an update on the current Technician Class course & planned license testing session.

See you there.

Sincerely & 73,
Len Litvan
