We'll have a brief meeting at Badger Prairie County Park. The primary purpose of this meeting is to hand out ID cards.

Badger Prairie County Park, Verona
Parking lot near the pavilion shelter. I don't have the shelter reserved. If it's open we could gather in there, otherwise we'll find a nice grassy spot.

Here's the full agenda:

• Hand out ID cards (if your callsign is listed below, I have an ID for you)

If your call sign is NOT listed here, it's probably due to two possible reasons:

1. Your photo hasn't been taken.
2. You haven't satisfied the membership requirements for full membership (completion of IS-100 and IS-700 is usually the limiting factor). Contact me if you have questions on that.
