[KE5ZRT]

I wanted to make you all aware of some recent club activity and community service. The Panhandle Amateur Radio Club (PARC), in Amarillo, sponsored a team for Walk MS by purchasing t-shirts for the team. The t-shirts, designed by Terra Seright, KE5ZRU, featured Morse Code font on the front advertising the Panhandle Amateur Radio Club and the phrase "Get Your Freq On!" on the front of the shirt. The back of the shirt featured the Walk MS logo, the PARC logo, and the ARRL logo. Several club members donated to Team PARC and and many more of the donations came from hams on Twitter! Team PARC consisted of: Dan McCabe, WA8YYE and his wife Phyllis; John Robinson, WD5FOI; Terra Seright, KE5ZRU; and Chris Seright, KE5ZRT.

Team PARC walked 2.25 miles, and raised a total of $511 dollars for Walk
MS. The total amount raised during the event was over $75,000! This was a fun event, and a great opportunity to support a charitable cause, and also an opportunity to advertise and share the amateur radio hobby with the public.
