[SARES] Request for ASSISTANCE

We might be able to ASSIST our counterparts in the City of Santa Clara.  
THIS IS NOT AN ACTIVATION!!!!!!  Santa Clara ARES / RACES is trying to 
get up and running again and I have offered the assistance of SARES.  
Tom Root is working closely with them at this time, BUT there is an 
event were we can have some fun and use our radios in a laid back mode.  
This would be at the Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival being held in their 
Central Park (Homestead & Kiely area) on the weekend of Sept. 15 & 16.

At this time all I have had is a "heads-up", that we might be asked to 
help.  If we are helping it would be in a SANTA CLARA ARES /RACES booth 
that will have as a NC station, and talking to the public (Santa Clara 
would need a member in this booth at all times).  There will also be 
four festival info booths and a lost child area, which will have ham 
radio operators, as well as roving radio operators.  The shifts would be 
a slots of a couple of hours or so in a booth then one could just roam 
around.  SARES members would wear our current vests for ID.

If you would be interested in assisting, please reply to this e-mail.
