This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the Ensor Auction. I’m sure your calendar has been marked for Saturday, October 12th and that you have a box or two of items for the Auction. Please contact me to arrange pickup of your donations or bring it to the Auction.
Along with the Auction is a raffle for gift certificates to Schulman Auction and Associated Radio. Vince, KEØCGR, is handling the raffle ticket sales, so contact him to purchase your tickets.
The Auction and the raffle are the big fundraisers for the Club. It is what provides the bulk of the funds for maintenance of the Club’s five, read that again, FIVE, repeaters and Field Day.
The Auction proceeds are split between the Club and the Ensor Foundation. Last year, due to the cold, attendance was down which resulted in less money being raised. Moving earlier, it is hoped that the chances of cold temperatures will be less and the weather more favorable in general.
October is our Club’s turn at providing volunteers on the weekends for the Ensor Museum. Ted will soon be asking for you to sign up. While helpful, no previous experience at the museum is required, so new Club members and new licensees are welcome to volunteer. As in the past, each time you volunteer, your name will be entered in a drawing for a gift certificate at Associated Radio. The more times you sign up, the better your chances of winning the $100 certificate.
