As of 1 November 2010 the Great Falls Area Amateur Radio Club (GFAARC) has a new meeting location!

The Cascade County Disaster and Emergency Services (DES) office has agreed to let us have access to their conference room for our monthly meetings. The room has plenty of tables and chairs, and direct access via an outside door.

The DES building is located at 521 1st Avenue NW. This is the former location of the County Weed and Mosquito Management office, as well as the County vehicle shop (both of which moved out to the new facilities near Manchester last year).

After-hours access to the DES building is through the vehicle yard on the North side of the building. Look for the large chain link fence gate off of 6th Street NW. If you are coming from the direction of Central Avenue West, go past the Salvation Army thrift store and turn right just before Chuck's Chinese Restaurant & Casino. Look for the park bench seat with the yellow back rest advertising "Sherlock's Home" on the right side of the street. Turn right just BEFORE this park bench.

Park up by the building, but remember two important things:

-DO NOT BLOCK THE GAS PUMPS! These are used at all hours of the day and night by Sheriff's Department patrol vehicles.

-DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE DOORS! These are used at all hours of the day and night by the Cascade County Search & Rescue group. They need unhindered access to their equipment at all times!

Please help get the word out to everyone! Our next club meeting will be on Monday, December 6, 2010 at 7:00 PM. The time and dates remain the same - only the location has changed.

See you there!
