You might notice that the timer widget on the right side of the page is now counting down from 367 days.  That’s all the time between now and Field Day 2014 that we have left to plan!  Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June, beginning at 1800 UTC Saturday, which would be June 28, 2014.

If you have comments about what went right or what went wrong with Field Day 2013 (now in the history books) you are invited to Thursday Breakfast at Chelsea’s, located next door to the Red Cross Center starting at 8:15 June 27th.  Those comments will be used to assist in planning for next year.

Congrats on Strong Field Day 2012 Performance.
