"To provide and maintain emergency and essential communications in all times of need to those who protect and serve, and to the public as well, through dedicated volunteer license amateur radio operators, and to do so with skill, respect, and dignity for all in the community."
The Darke County Amateur Radio Emergency Service is a non-profit organization, which does not use local, state, nor federal funds (including tax dollars), to provide this volunteer service to the public. Instead, we are supported through donations, as well as fundraisers, along with time graciously donated by volunteer professional radio operators to provide this service.
To aid in this ever-important endeavor, we have a mobile communications unit that we have been putting together, which will enable these professional volunteers to provide this most important of services to the public at any time it may be needed.
We are soon launching a pizza and sub fundraiser to further fund our mobile communications unit. We will be offering a Pepperoni Pizza Pack, a complete kit that makes two 12" pizzas, for a donation of $10. Also available will be a Sub Sandwich Pack, making three 8" subs with ham, pepperoni, and salami, available for a $10 donation as well.
We will be taking orders in person on Saturday, May 5; Saturday, May 12; and Saturday May 19. This will be open from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Treaty City Amateur Radio Association club station, 5345 Heritage Road, Greenville. This is the Studabaker one-room school along State Route 49, just north of the Darke County Sheriff's Office.
Our next meeting will be May 25, at 6:30pm. Meetings are held at the Darke County EMA office, in the Emergency Operations Center.
