Monthly Club Meeting - May 15, 2025 - 7pm

mark your calendar - details to follow!

Falkland Parade Community Service Event - May 18, 2025 - Volunteers Needed

Sunday 18 May brings the Falkland Parade ... one of the club's two main community service events.   This is a fun event and "usually" much less complicated than the Vernon Winter Carnival as it is a smaller parade with a shorter route.   NORAC volunteers in the past have all been rewarded with entry to a free pancake breakfast and free tickets to the rodeo if you want.

 

Felix VA7VOL has kindly volunteered to coordinate the event .... volunteers are needed ...  please reach out to Felix directly at victoralphasevenvictoroscarlimaatgmaildotcom.

Pacific Forest Rally - May 29-31, 2025 - Volunteers Needed

At this point the event schedule is going to be similar to the one last year:
