Due to it being President's Day, we do not have access to the Admin Building.  The meeting will be at the Delta 109 Restaurant at the same time (7:30pm).

For the immediate future, all stated meetings will be returning to the 2nd floor of the County Admin building in Wauseon.  This takes effect starting with our stated meeting for January on the 17th.  The normal meeting time remains unchanged.

Club members got together on Monday for the Annual Club Christmas Dinner at the Delta 109. We had about 24 members and guests in attendance as we close out the year and look forward to a better 2022.  The next regular club meeting will be January 17, 2022 which will include officer elections.

Thanks to KE8ITJ for spearheading the effort to craft a new club logo and shirt design for the FCARC.  As it stands now, the shirts will have imprints on the front upper left, and across the back.  The shirts will feature a left side pocket as well. The costs for the shirts are $15 for club members, $20 for non-members. What we need to determine is how many to order and what sizes people will need.  Please reach out to ke8itj@gmail.com with the quantity you want and the sizes.  We are trying to get them ordered and shipped before the Hamfest so they will be available for pickup there.  See a Full Size Image Here
