Club Activities: FCARC 2012-2013 Calendar
Revised 6/16/2013
The activities calendar for our September to August club year
is developed each summer.
The club meets every month except July and August. The December
meeting is a potluck Holiday Party, the May meeting is a picnic, and the June meeting is the annual business meeting and election of officers. All other meetings are combinations of business and program meetings, often with guest speakers. With the exception of the picnic, which is held on a Saturday, the monthly meetings
are held at the Greenfield High School, usually on the third Monday of each month. The school is not available on Monday holidays, and when there is a holiday conflict the meeting will be held on the previous or the next Monday.
We also have a monthly Saturday breakfast. This will always be on the Saturday before the third Monday. Activities such as fox hunts may be scheduled following the monthly Saturday
breakfasts.
E-Board meetings will normally be held before regular meetings, with the board meeting at 6 p.m. and the membership meeting at 7:15. All members are welcome to attend E-Board meetings.
The schedule may vary due to factors such as school snow days or conflicts with public service events.
The Volunteer Examiner team holds Amateur Radio license examination sessions on the fourth Monday of August, November, February, and May. Dates for 2012-2013 are August 27 2012, November 26 2012, February 25 2013, May 27 2013, and August 26 2013.
Note: Things change, not every date can be known when the first
version of this schedule is posted during the summer.
Items that have changed after the original posting of this schedule
are displayed in red.
