Discussion
8 radios have been distributed. We did some testing. Most radios can hit station #1 or #2.
Earth Day fair: Tosh and Dierdre will be there, Jenni will stop by for awhile in the afternoon. Tosh will bring a table and Dierdre will bring a couple chairs.
If there’s an incident, like a possible fire, it’s always good to call 911. Our radios are meant only as a fallback when other channels of communication aren’t working.
