ROARS NEWS
NOTE! The September 19th ROARS meeting location will be at the home of K6SRS.
GREAT NEWS! After a two year absence, we understand the Yuma Hamcon (was HamFest) will return to the Yuma Fairgrounds on February 21 & 22, 2025. It was cancelled for lack of staffing. For 2025 they are asking for clubs (not individuals) to volunteer some assistance. Is ROARS interested?
ROARS Officer nominations for 2025/2026 president and secretary happen at the January meeting. Elections follow at the February meeting.
For 2025, ROARS will have only one level of dues, $20, for a full or associate member plus their spouse and/or children residing at the same address.
