The Bowater Credit Union has donated $1,000 to the McMinn County Amateur Radio Club (MCARC)
The Cleveland Banner reports:
Bowater Credit Union members Joyce Johnson and Bill Luecken W4WPL have each won a $1,000 Pay It Forward prize for their favorite nonprofits doing good in the five counties eligible for credit union membership, Isaiah 117 House and McMinn County Amateur Radio Club (MCARC), respectively.
The McMinn County Amateur Radio Club “in addition to serving as a venue for promoting amateur radio has a core value of community service and providing emergency communication,” writes Luecken. “As a testament to the critical need provided for by these services is the fact that after the Nov. 30, 2016, tornado in Athens the MCARC emergency radio repeater network was the only communication system capable of county wide communication.”
MCARC welcomes financial support, but is especially seeking new members interested in learning more about HAM radio and the important service MCARC provides. Learn more and find upcoming meeting information at http://mcminnarc.com/
