Our PSRG picnic will be held on Sunday, July 26, at Magnolia Park:

1461 Magnolia Boulevard W
Seattle, WA 98199

UPDATE: Early setup will begin at 9:00 AM. We hope to have the food-line tables in place by 11:30 AM, with the grills starting at about the same time. Please bring your appetite!

If you have one or two camp or lawn chairs, please bring them along. We could use additional seating.

The potluck lineup currently includes:

  • Appetizers and general sides — 12 entries, including seven specifically identified as side dishes
  • Named side dishes — potato salad from W7DNG and corn from K7MGE

  • Gluten-free dish — KC7IAY
  • Eight additional dishes whose specific contents were not listed

Thanks to everyone for volunteering, signing up, and generally being good human beings. We can all make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us by connecting with one another—and amateur radio makes it easy.

 Please let us know if you’re attending by filling out this quick form. This is an epic picnic you do not want to miss. The Seattle Parks permit for this reserved space at Magnolia Park allows for only 80 attendees so get back to us on the poll ASAP. Also the poll is used to gauge how many are attending so we know how much food to purchase.

Jack is looking for a handful of volunteers to help set-up and tear down.

In case you missed it above, here is the link to the form:  PSRG Picnic Registration

Please contact Jack if you have any questions.

Call for Volunteer Elmers

The PSRG Board is considering various ways to expand our outreach, especially to new hams. One possibility is to establish a list of Elmers ready to help with questions an coaching. We are looking for volunteers to be part of a mailing list to which questions can be referred. We’re also looking for one or more volunteers to coordinate the program by forwarding questions to the appropriate Elmer. Members with different areas of expertise are needed so that questions can be directed to a person who can best help hopefully is close in proximity . If you wish to be a part of this traditional ham mentoring, contact Rich, K7RCH@Prettydarngood.net.
