Hello All! Following yesterday’s monthly meeting, here are a few quick (unofficial) notes:
Bill VK2ZCV would like to bring everyone’s attention to the excellent Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Amateur Radio Club (FAMPARC) Webpage that was mentioned during the meeting.
Richard VK2CHC is calling for volunteers for the annual Beechwood Billycart Classic on October 25th – over 10 people of 13 needed confirmed at the meeting with several others tentative (pending consultation with their social directors). If you’re available for the morning of the 25th please let Richard know – it’s a fun morning out.
Wednesday Working Bees are cancelled for the next couple of weeks following Henry VK2ZHE’s surgery. Get well soon Henry!
Stuart VK2FSTU will be participating in the Great Cycle Challenge fundraiser to raise money to fight kid’s cancer – Stuart writes:
I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge this October to fight kids’ cancer!
Because right now, cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia – over 600 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds to help these kids and support Children’s Medical Research Institute to continue its work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support my challenge by making a donation through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Thank you for your support.
Stuart

Last year I raised $2,225.00 in the month of October, this year they are opening up the period for donations (all tax deductible over $2) and ends at the end of October. For the month of October I ride every day I can to honour those kids with cancer and to help in the raising of funds for Kids with Cancer.
I rely on the good hearts of people like you and hope you can open the dusty wallets and let the moths out for this time of year for these young soles who have the big C.
