redcross-logoRebecca Anderson of the American Red Cross, will be presenting a very special program for the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club at our July 17 Club meeting. Rebecca oversees preparedness programs for the Red Cross. Her presentation will be called, “Be Red Cross Ready.”

The Red Cross Ready Adult Presentation is a 45 minute presentation covering the three steps to preparing individuals and families at home and in the workplace to 1) Build a Kit, 2) Make a Disaster Plan, and 3) Be Informed before, during and after a disaster. We often become complacent about such things if we haven’t experienced an emergency situation in a long time. Now is the time to get ourselves up to speed on these issues because the next emergency could be just around the corner.

At 5:30 PM we will be taking Rebecca and some of her team members to dinner at Cody’s before the meeting. Please come and join us for dinner.

New Phone Numbers for SBARC and Club Station

We have new phone numbers for the club and club station courtesy of Impulse Advanced Communications and several club members that worked on getting things installed.

The new numbers are as follows:

Main number: 805-456-K6TZ (805-456-5689)

Club station: 805-880-K6TZ (805-880-5689)

Note: You can transfer from the main number to the club station number by pressing zero.

The main club number goes directly to a voice mail system that electronically distributes messages to our board members within seconds. This will help to make sure it gets to the right person and in a timely manner.

The phone at the club station will be answered during normal club hours. There is also an answering machine on the club station phone if you want to leave a message for the Shackmaster.
