The turkeys will be distributed to people in need from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM this coming Saturday. The traffic management plan is enclosed and why we need AT LEAST 5 Amateur Radio operators to manage this. As one might expect, there will be people lining up
around several blocks and waiting for hours. Volunteers should come around 6:00 AM to this event in the city of Lowell.</div>

Dwelling house of hope is a Lowell Community Group which provides food on a weekly basis to those in need. This Saturday they are providing 1500 Turkeys and other fixings. They have been doing this weekly for a decade and the Turkeys for several years
as well. </div>

Lowell Litter Krewe is a Lowell Community Group that picks up trash and has it carted away in dump trucks. They have a good-sized volunteer community and are good at traffic management and logistics. DHH asked LLK to help and LLK asked me to help coordinate
communications for this event which will cover several city blocks.</div>

All this will be in Lowell, Mt. Hope St, not far from Mammoth road and the Bay State Marathon racecourse, if you are familiar. </div>

Please contact me directly if you will help. Food will be provided to volunteers. There is a genuine need for us to keep this complex event coordinated. If you have other plans, consider if you can cancel them for this. Future events with these
organizations will have a longer planning cycle in the future. I surveyed the site as indicated in the attached plan and verified that it can be covered by radio. That includes assuring that the church / concrete building will not be an issue for radio communications.</div>
