Skywarn Advisory Committee Meeting; Saturday - February 16th

February 14th, 2008

this information forwarded from Virginia AK4EA, SKYWARN Amateur Radio Coordinator.

 What: Advisory Committee Meeting
Where: T & E Conference Room (note that it IS NOT at the normal place)
When: February 16th, 10:30am-12:30pm

The time and place are both different. T & E has a bigger conference
room, and can accommodate larger numbers. If you intend to attend, make
sure you note the change. An RSVP would really help us out!

The T & E Building is at the far end of NWS grounds, across from the new
office. If you are entering the grounds from Thunder Road, make a right
at the stop sign and travel approximately a mile to the T & E Building.

There will be many things going on at this meeting, not the least of
which is a retirement party for Randy. :) We also will be welcoming
several past Skywarn Coordinators, and a number of our subnets will be
sending representatives. It will be a great day to meet people and get
to know each other. I am definitely looking forward to it!

See you on Saturday.
Virginia Legowik, AK4EA
Amateur Radio Coordinator
