<p>On Sunday, September 9, we need volunteers to support the 2018
Bike MS Dayton. This event consists of three different rides that
all start and finish at Eastwood Metro Park. The shortest version
goes out the bike trail to Beavercreek and back. The middle one
continues on to Xenia and returns. The long one continues to
Corwin (in Northern Warren County) and returns. The ride starts at
8:00 AM and wraps up around 2:00 PM. The schedule for the rest
stops varies according to location. For example, Corwin opens at
10:30 and closes at noon, since it is the farthest from the start,
while Beavercreek opens at 8:15 and closes at 1:30, since it is
close to the start, but needs to stay open until the long route
riders return. The organizers would also like to have radio
operators who could install in SAG vehicles and help with herding
the riders back to the finish. It would be swell to have a bike
mobile operator to follow the last riders into the finish. If you
are able to support this event, please contact <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:n8ado@arrl.net">n8ado@arrl.net</a>.</p>
<p>I have been contacted regarding a possible new event for us. The
organizers of Pony Wagon Days in St. Paris (near Urbana) have
asked if we would be able to help with the parade on Thursday late
afternoon and evening September 6. If I hear from 5 or 6
interested parties, I'll sign us up for it. Contact

<p>Phil Verret KA8ZKR tells me that he is well short of the number
of volunteers he needs for the Air Force Marathon (Saturday Sept.
15). The deadline to sign up on line is fast approaching. Here is
the message that Phil sent out earlier:</p>
<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western">
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m Phil Verret, KA8ZKR, and I’m taking
over from Dave Crawford as the Ham Radio Lead Coordinator this
year. First off, thanks for your past support! Dave gave me
the list of folks who signed up last year and I’m sending out
this email to remind you to sign up for the marathon if you
can support it again this year. Now would be a great time to
get registered on the volunteer website. Simply go to
<a href="http://www.usafmarathon.com/volunteer/">http://www.usafmarathon.com/volunteer/</a>
and enter your information. I know some of you have already
registered and I’m happy for those who did, but the Base
Marathon committee will be meeting on 11 July and I’d like to
report a higher number of volunteers than are currently signed
up, so if you’ve been putting this off, now would be a great
time to get it done!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions or concerns,
please shoot me an email, or if you need to talk, let me know
and I’ll send you my cell phone number.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>

<div>We will use the MoCo ARES repeater as the primary frequency
this year with DARA as backup. I do need a DARA van driver to
bring out the communications van. </div>
