COVID-19 and the CCARC
The Board of the CCARC has been monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation as it has developed
along with recommendations as they are issued or revised. The latest advisory guidance is to"Stay Home, Stay Healthy".
In light of this guidance, the Board has decided
during thIs period to shift our general meeting to
an online forum. We will
still have our regular meeting, now online only, login starting at 6:50 pm,
meeting starting at 7 pm. To see the videos of past Friday
General Meetings that were recorded, click HERE. It will take you to a YouTube playlist of available
recordings. You can bookmark the link in your browser for easy future access.
We have developed a SOP for our meeting decision making
process. Moving forward, we will make a decision at least 10 days in advance
of any CCARC meeting to determine whether it will be online, face-to-face or
other option. As a Board and
leadership group, we will continue to review our meeting options along with
any the continuing developments and the most current recommendations to
determine our next steps as a club.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we develop a cohesive
meeting strategy moving forward. On a lighter note, now would really be a great time to invest in those Push to Talk (PTT) radio skills and dedicate some time to ensure your ham shack and equipment are in working order!
