One of the hallmarks of the
Athens Radio Club is public service. Each fall,
ARC provides communications in support of Red Cross'
provision of first aid services at the University of
Georgia football games. Yes, volunteers may get to
watch some of the game, but providing communications is
critical to protect attendees who experience medical
emergencies. You can see a few photos in the
UGA Game Day Support
album. There
are also numerous opportunities to support the many
races and runs held in the Athens area. With so
many organizations associated with the University of
Georgia as well as other groups, there tends to be one,
and sometimes more than one, every weekend. Watching
for runners that may experience physical problems is
crucial to the welfare of the runners and it assists
race organizers to keep abreast of the event's status.
Listings with uncertain information will be updated as the information becomes
available. Upcoming public service
events that are scheduled include:
