Reminder for training session for Amateur Radio Volunteers on March 7, 2020
Jonathan,

*Training*
A reminder that in-person training is ON for next Saturday, March 7, 2020:

*Date:* *Saturday March 7, 2020*
*Time: *Report for registration by *0800*
*Location*: Joseph P Keefe Technical High School
    750 Winter St, Framingham, MA 01702, USA
*Map:* https://goo.gl/maps/iY5LmDQ5sfUrrnTTA
*Parking: *Plenty of free and easy parking available.
It is requested that you park at the Fountain Street side of the building.
The main entrance we are asked to use is around the corner.

Even if you are an experienced volunteer, there are several big changes
that this training will prepare you for.  For those new, this training is
vital!  Nothing beats being there, asking questions, meeting your
colleagues, and learning together.  So please be there!  For those folks
who cannot attend due to distance or other factors, please let us know.

*Volunteer Appeal*
This year we have worked hard to build up our volunteer numbers so that the
mission may be accomplished.  Unfortunately we’ve been met with lower than
hoped for volunteer applications.  So here’s our urgent appeal for help.

Please spread the word, personally, that comms volunteers are needed at the
Marathon.  In particular, we are seeking Amateur Radio communications for
Course Medical tents, Hydration stations, Transportation medical Sweep and
Express buses, and operators in the Course Net Control Operations Center.

Please tell your local Amateur Radio clubs and your licensed friends about
the need.

To volunteer, send the following information immediately to
contact at hamradioboston.org:

   - Full Name
   - Address
   - Amateur Radio Call Sign
   - Do you have a current Red Cross or other CPR certification
   - What is your jacket size (Male/Female)
   - What is your assignment area preference


*THANK YOU* for stepping up as a volunteer.  You are a vital part of a
highly-trained, able team of Amateur Radio *communications specialists *who
are making a huge, and very positive impact on this complex and expansive
event.  We cannot possibly thank you enough and simply cannot do the job
without everyone’s enthusiasm, energy, and super volunteer spirit!

See you at the training!

Yours sincerely,
