“Stub” Stewart State Park is the first new Oregon State Park in thirty years. Its designed to be a showplace -- with camping, group sites, hiking, and views like no other. This is the location for our Field Day Operation.

JD Fort K7JDF has been working with State Parks and Camp Management to secure our use of this great site for Field Day June 23-24. He will give a brief report at our May 9th meeting and offer a program on Field Day at the June 13th meeting. MORE

BOB'S BARREL - May 2007

We will meet again at the Hillsboro Elks’ Lodge at Orenco, May 9th. This time the seating will be slightly different, along with a microphone, to allow everyone to hear the program. The main complaint about our last meeting was the inability to hear the complete program and the noise from the group behind us. Food service ends at 7:00 pm, so we should not be bothered by Elks’ arrivals for dinner. One important point we must observe is to remember to check in at the front entrance. We will have a greeter present to assist in checking.

We will have a SEA-PAC club booth again this year. Of course, we need volunteers to staff the booth. If you have a few minutes available during your time, come by and spell a member. It is a good place to rest and visit. Our booth will help in telling our story and inviting new members. We need your help as much as possible.

Field Day will be held at “Stub” Stewart State Park this year. The Park is new and we will be among the first to use it. JD Fort is interfacing with park management to insure that we will have an excellent Field Day experience. JD plans to be at our meeting to give an update. Mark your calendar for June 23-24 and participate. Come even if it is for a short time. A number of activities planned.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday evening.
