Speaker
	Name: Sara Jones, KG6TUK
	Topic: The Safety Net
	Location: Sierra Room
	Date & Time: Friday 3 - 3:50 PM
	KG6TUK is realtively new to amateur radio. Her interests in amateur radio began when the southern California Wildfires of 2003 made it clear that regular communication channels cannot always be relied upon to get the job done during a disaster. It was during her responses as a volunteer with the American Red Cross to the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005 that she came to know and be grateful for the Safety Net. This presentation is an affirmation of the steady and ever-ready presence of the amateur radio community as seen through the eyes of a new operator. It will highlight the challenges and the teamwork that prevail during times of disaster. Two special guests will share a little bit of their local contribution to the national safety net. Please join KG6TUK in celebrating the daily efforts of the amateur radio community that, bittersweetly, show their true colors during times of disaster. If you have a story to add to the Safety Net, please bring it with you! The photo is coming in another email as an attachment. 73, Sara
