October 7th Monthly Meeting at GVSU

by

Our monthly meeting will be held on Friday October 7, 2022 at the GVSU Kennedy Hall of Engineering (301 Fulton St W, Grand Rapids, MI), Room 124.

Come early and talk with your fellow hams before we start the meeting. Socializing will start at 6:30pm and our meeting will start at 7pm.

We will have a Show and Tell segment at our meeting, so bring your projects! They don’t have to be completed projects, just bring anything you’re working on and anything you think others would be interested in. If you would like to give a more formal presentation on your project, we will dedicate a very short time limit for those. Afterwards, people can walk from table to table checking out all the other projects.
