As a response, we have scheduled a monthly outing on the Second Sunday of every month in a local county park. This is an opportunity to get out, set up your field portable radios, make some contacts together and have good fellowship with your friends in the club. Park outings may rotate between a few centrally located Gwinnett County Parks until we land on one which will best suit everyone who wishes to attend. Park outings will begin around 1:00 PM on the Second Sunday of every month at or near a central pavilion. Sometimes we may find that the pavilion has been rented, so bring your lawn chair, portable power, and a folding table just in case. If you have a pop-up canopy to share with others, let us know you\u2019re attending. This is an informal event, so drop in, bring a snack or cooler, stay as long as you like, and relax with your club friends.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">The first <strong>Second Sunday in the Park<\/strong> event will be September 13th at 1:00 PM in Bethesda Park located at<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/225+Bethesda+Church+Rd,+Lawrenceville,+GA+30044\/@33.9040508,-84.091232,1283m\/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x88f5bb47afd44a4d:0xe18c510c21452d47!8m2!3d33.9025528!4d-84.0887381!16s%2Fg%2F11c0_nc85w?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDgxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">225 Bethesda Church Rd, Lawrenceville, GA 30044<\/a>. <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Look for the pavilion next to the lake and between the Senior Center and the Aquatics Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A reminder will be sent out via our Groups.io email group prior to the event.
