<div dir="ltr">Fellow ARES members,<br><br>The 2014 Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon will be held on Saturday, October 18. We have been asked to help provide communications for this event. This is an excellent opportunity for our ARES members to help with a public service event and get some field operating time in the process! Many volunteers are needed for this event. Please consider helping for just a few hours.<br><br>The Purdue Boilermakers Half-Marathon will involve several hundred runners on a route extending more than 13 miles through Lafayette and West Lafayette, and a shorter 5K route through West Lafayette. This event involves the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, the cooperation of multiple public safety agencies and municipalities, and the closing of many city streets on a tightly scheduled time-line, presenting a challenge for event coordination.<br><br>Full details about this event can be found at:<div><a href="http://www.W9TCA.com/half-marathon">www.W9TCA.com/half-marathon</a><br><br>IMPORTANT: Please register if you plan on helping. The registration form and full details about this event are on the web site. Thanks and 73.<br><br>________________________________________<br>Stephen M.
