With September being an eating meeting month and the county fair going on this week not many of the members could make the meeting. But all is not lost. Several members are working the BGMRC/ACS/E911 booth at the county fair this week. There is a wide choice of food items ranging from corn dogs to cotton candy from the fair vendors. For some good social time and fair entertainment come out tonight Tuesday Sept. 23rd and join us at the mobile command post located between Esco fruit stand and the fair office. We will be monitoring the 145.13 repeater. Admission to the fair is $5 per person. Come out and join us for a fun eating and social meeting at the Coweta County Fair on Pine road. When we are not so busy with the fair we will try to have another social event soon. Eddie K4UN
