We have a shortage of volunteers to help ensure the security of the Field Day site. If you have time that you can share with us, it would be very much appreciated. We need to watch the site from Friday June 22nd through Sunday when the tear down is complete around noon. The more people that we can get the shorter the shifts can be.

If you are able to help us, please email Randy at bohica.randy@gmail.com. Please include the day(s) and general times that you would like to help cover and I will develop a schedule.

Thank you VERY much

Randy/KE7EKU, Field Day Security Director
