ARES is a way to put the “service” in Amateur Radio Services!    Your volunteer time not only provides a direct benefit to your community, but it also gives a very public demonstration of the personal benefits of becoming a licensed amateur operator, and the value that hams bring to the community.  If you live outside of Boulder or Broomfield Counties, please visit https://coloradoares.org for information about your local ARES chapter.    If you live within Boulder or Broomfield counties, please contact us about your interest in joining our community service contributions.  For more information, please see the 1-page descriptor attached.

Sincerely,

Rick Myers (KK0COP) AEC and  Recruitment chair, BCARES  Region 1 District 3 (R1 D3)
