All,

The Paris News carried our story in their print version and on the website.  The print version didn’t capture the venue change, but we believe we are adequately communicating it.  Their web version did get the venue update.  Knowing we would potentially have the venue change cause issues, we spoke with High Cotton Kitchen ownership and they will brief their staff and we will have handbills at the cash register to hand to anyone that shows up late.  It is likely that anyone going to just the meeting will have heard of the change via our emails, website updates, radio traffic (please do talk it up) and the Monday night net.  Anyone that missed it will then be walking up to High Cotton Kitchen as the last stragglers from breakfast are headed to PJC.  So, lots of opportunities to make sure everyone gets to the right place.  And all the invited guests have received a personal phone call from a Club officer making sure that they all know for sure where to go.

The electronic version of The Paris News piece is at the top of their page and our own Cindy Penry (KD5CCB) is shown there:

Inside the article, not behind a paywall [UPDATE 2: This article did not initially require a login to read so I made the post reflecting that fact.  Then, later on, it suddenly went behind their paywall.  I reached out to an editor I am acquainted with and asked her to look into it.  She forwarded my note to the publisher (Clay Carsner) and in about five minutes flat he unlocked it for us.  If you have any business with The Paris News or Mr. Carsner, please thank them. – Phillip] so please click the link – RRV ham radio club notes 50th anniversary – we have Ronnie Rumsey (KA5LEK), Steven Lott Smith (KG5VK) and Charles Penry (WA5VHU) in three photos.

Enjoy,

Phillip
