WILD ROSE CHAPTER 151 REPORT

Greetings from Chapter 151, Calgary, AB, Canada. Our Chapter is assisting Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) by sponsoring a local Middle School to get started with an Amateur Radio Youth Education Program. We are also planning to do 30-minute presentations to Scout, Guide, Church and any other youth group that will listen to us promote amateur radio to the younger generation.

On September 20 we held our Annual General Meeting (luncheon meeting) with 21 in attendance. Seven of our members received awards ranging from 50 years of service to Century Club Awards. See accompanying picture.

Left to Right: Bruce Collisson, VE6BAC - 50 Year, Earle Smith, VE6NM - 50 Year, Les Card, VE6CA - Meritorious Award, Jack Ambler, VE6CAQ - Waiting For His 50 Year - 2023!, Grant Heimbecker, VE6GH - 50 & 55 Year and Harvey Milne, VE6JV - 65 Year

Missing In Picture: Dick Sheppard, VE6TY - 65 Year & Century Club, Ken Yeatheard, VE6KY - Century Club

Our guest speaker was John Bley KD7MAQ who spent his life discovering and testing pharmaceuticals. He very neatly linked neuron waves with radio waves. Very interesting.
