2023 Northbrook Canoe Challenge Event – Coming up May 6th

- by wa3noa - Leave a Comment

Every year, the Cerebral Palsy Association of Chester Co., Inc. runs an event for raising funds for, and awareness of Cerebral Palsy. CCAR has been an important partner in making this event safe, and successful.

We are, once again, providing communications support for this event. It is a fun, low pressure event to work as an operator. The only equipment needed is an HT and a desire to spend a little time in a scenic spot overlooking the Brandywine Creek. The event this year will be on a Saturday – May 6th.

We need to provide at least 12 operators that will be placed at critical points along the canoe route to watch out for the canoes and report any status throughout the event. Please consider volunteering for one of these positions.

As always, if you have participated in the past and have a desire to work a particular spot, please ask. I will try to accommodate your requests.

I will send out a request for operators sometime in early March. Please look for it, and respond.

Jim – WA3NOA
