Due to the Red Cross Building being up for sale, we have found a new home.
Starting with the October 10th general meeting, we will meet at the youth building of VictoryPoint Ministries, located at 11530 Ransom St, Holland, MI 49424.
The building is located on Ransom, which is just west of 120th Ave, between New Holland St and Quincy St.
Many thanks to Art, K0TWB for the hospitality.
There are two pages for the Holland ARC on Facebook.

Keep in mind that with steaming audio there is a 25-30 second delay in the audio.
This feed makes it handy for many of us to monitor the repeater from our work environment, especially during severe weather.
There is no cost to you or the club for this service.
