GFAARC Meeting Dates and Location Information for 2013
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 3:43 pm
The Great Falls Area Amateur Radio Club (GFAARC) meets the first Monday of every month at 7:00 PM.
The meeting location is in the conference room at the Cascade County DES building. Parking is behind the building, inside the fenced compound.
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 have moved out to their new facilities near Manchester).
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 and Rescue group.
The only exception to the "first Monday of each month" meeting night is when a holiday is involved. Therefore, please note that the September 2013 meeting will be held on Monday, 9 September 2013. This is due to the first Monday, September 2nd, being Labor Day. We will delay our monthly meeting by one week so everyone can enjoy the Labor Day weekend!
Here are the GFAARC meeting dates for 2013:
12 January 2013 (Winter Social dinner instead of regular meeting)
