On behalf of the Board and all members of the Arrow Communication Association, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Region 2 South Healthcare Coalition for the generous donation of a utility trailer. Their thoughtful contribution will serve as a vital asset for ARROW, enabling us to enhance our emergency communication (EMCOMM) operations and provide critical training resources for our amateur radio community.

In addition to strengthening our preparedness and response capabilities during emergencies and public service events, this trailer will also support our outreach to local schools as a mobile STEM resource. By giving school-age children hands-on experiences with communications technology, we can inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, helping foster the next generation of innovators and community leaders.

Region 2 South’s support exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and community service that is essential in strengthening our regional emergency response efforts. We deeply appreciate your commitment and partnership, which make a meaningful difference in our ability to serve others.

On Saturday June 7th a team from ARROW supported the American Diabetes Association’s Tour-de-Cure Bicycle event that raised over $275,000. This money goes to increasing awareness, provide vital programs, fund lifesaving research, and work toward a cure for diabetes. 

ARROW provided radio communications for event officials to track rider progress and rider support along the route for bicycle issues.

During the event the ARROW team helped keep riders on the event route, help a couple riders with bicycle issues, transported one rider back to the event headquarters, gave updates to local law enforcement officials, and helped a family member find their rider they were looking for.
