Providing
Emergency Communications
Welcome to our emergency communications section of the TARA web site. You'll quickly notice that most of this section will be devote to Rensselaer County ARES/RACES, that's by our design. Both of our organizations have worked hand-in-hand over the years and we hope this relationship will continue to grow. Many of TARA's members are joint members of ARES/RACES and they take great pride in serving their community. If you have any suggestions/comments about this section, we'd like to hear from you!
General Information Monthly
Meetings for ARES/RACES
|
On
April 26, 2000 it was decided to form the "NEW"
Rensselaer County ARES/RACES Radio Club. Not only will this keep
ARES & RACES under one "roof top" but it will help
in the long run to keep stability for both groups. At their May
meeting all the paperwork had been completed for the
"Constitution & By Laws" for this new organization
and by the end of June it was adopted by the membership. It was
also determined that the December meeting each year would serve
as the annual elections of officers. Officers serve for a
2 year term. 
The
list above are those that were elected by the membership at the
January 2016 meeting. These new officers for ARES will hold
office until January of 2018. It should be noted that RACES
Officers are appointed by Rensselaer County BOES Director - Kelly
Paslow. Only the ARES Officers are elected at the annual
elections. 
Please
remember that we're presently holding our ARES/RACES
Training Net every Thursday
(except third Thursday of every month) at 7:30 PM,
on the 145.17 Repeater in Troy. We're going to need as many of you as possible
for these nets and hopefully they'll quickly become a valuable
training aid. For more information on
