Summer 2008 Highlights!
Here's what's happening with CARES... 

Field Day 2008!  CARES set up their Field Day on Saturday 28 June and, despite crummy propagation, had a great time!  Fourteen members operated HF, VHF, digital, and ATV while talking up Ham Radio and Emergency Preparedness with the citizens of Cupertino.  Check out the story and photos here.

CARES:  20 Years of Service.  During the 17 June 2008 Cupertino City Council meeting, CARES was recognized for its 20 years of community service with a City-Wide Proclamation.  I want to thank CARES members, both past and present, for your service to the Cupertino!

Its Fireworks time again! And the City of Cupertino is getting ready for another spectacular Independence Day event!  

As in past years, CARES has been asked to provide communications support, and we are  looking for volunteers from within our ranks as well as MACs from throughout the County.  Check out this year's event plan for details.  Injterested in volunteering?  Please contact Allan KD6QPP at to sign up!

The 2008 Spring Training focus will be on Wild Land and Urban Interface fires.  Over the next few months, we will have different presentations on what CARES members need to consider when responding to a city or county interface fire event.  Check into the weekly nets for details!
