AARA August General Meeting - The August General Meeting will be held on 
Thursday, August 2nd at 7:00 PM at the Red Cross Building, 101 N. Pat
Street, Scott, Louisiana.  Guest speakers will be Steve Irving WA5FKF of 
the Baton Rouge Chapter of the Red Cross addressing our club on 
assisting the
Red Cross during and after disasters.  Sandy LeBlanc KE5KJF will talk 
about the upcoming "Tour du Teche Canoe Race" taking place in October.  
Sandy
and hubby Larry KE5KJD are coordinators for the ham radio team that will 
assist during this three day event.  So this should be a very 
interesting meeting.

Hope to see you there!
Also, we may have a large turnout for the 6:00 PM VE Test Session 
(around 10) so, if you arrive early for the meeting, *keep the noise 
level down please*.
