AFGAR - Alumni and Friends of Gator Amateur Radio

Open House and Kick-off Reception

We may be a new organization just formed in June 2013 but
we already have a lot of volunteerism to be thankful for.

We kicked off the 2013-14 school year with an open house reception to
honor those who have been offering support to at W4DFU and GARC. 
This event was held Sunday September 15, 2013
