Tuesday, August 10 -- Board meeting, 19:00, Raley's community room (near pharmacy). All members are invited.

Tuesday, August 17 -- Membership meeting, Pizza Round-Up, 2270 Nicolaus Rd., 19:00 hours. Here are directions. Come early and socialize before the meeting.

Friday, July 16 -- Amateur Radio/Police volunteer patrol. WPARC members assist the Lincoln PD by acting as "eyes and ears" for local patrols. Since budgets have been cut, this has become even more helpful to law enforcement.

We meet at the Lincoln PD station, 7th and H Sts., at 20:00. The officer assigned to us that night will brief us on specific areas of interest and what events have transpired recently that are of concern.

The patrol ends around 23:00. We always ride with no less than two people per vehicle. Each vehicle is equipped with a 2-meter radio. Every 30 minutes we have a safety check. One of the participants may ride with the assigned officer as net control.

We are only look-outs and nothing else. If something is noticed, we report it to the net control and an officer may be dispatched.

Lincoln Amateur Radio Patrol (LARP) magnetic decals are available on patrol nights for $5. These should be placed on your vehicles while on patrol.
