WCARC would like to extend a special “Thank You” to club member Mike Henry, KD4IID, for receiving a proclamation from White County E-911 and White County Office of Emergency Management on our behalf. Mike is a stand-out member of our club, and of the ham radio community as a whole. The local paper has published an article about the proclamation, featuring Mike, and can be found at the link below.
