South County ARES Poker Run 2003

April 6, 2003

The 1st annual South County ARES Poker Run was held April 6, 2003, between 2pm and 5pm.

The purpose of this event was to allow members to familiarize themselves with several emergency radio station locations in the southern part of San Mateo County.

Participants drove to each of the five designated locations, drew a card from a bag, had their card noted on their entry form. The four players with the highest hands won prizes.

Everyone had fun and learned more about the locations of the emergency radio stations at the Hall of Justice (RWC), Menlo Park PD, Menlo Park Surgical Hospital, Sequoia Hospital (RWC) and Atherton PD.

Many thanks to

  • Bill Smith, KE6CHQ, who organized the event
  • Jon Mosby, KF6RFQ, who served as station manager at Atherton PD and event photographer
  • Dave Ellison, K6DHE, who served as station manager at Sequoia Hospital
  • Phil Stripling, KG6ILU, who served as station manager at Menlo Park Surgical Hospital
  • Ron Sfarzo, KG6JQT , who served as station manager at Menlo Park PD
