Covid-19 is still forces us to 'skip' physical meetings. We use Zoom Meetings (Web App) to hold our virtual/video meetings. See "Video Meeting Setup Hints" on the left side for information and links to setup information (will help get your Zoom operational). We are doing this for both the ARES-Skywarn meetings and the SARA regular meetings until further notice. We plan to use the Zoom meeting process going forward {after Covid} to assist members to attend the meetings, without physically traveling to the club meeting location.
Physical meetings are planned at: (when we can start back up ~ 'post COVID') James P. Capitan Center, Lower Level; 149 E. Corunna Ave.; Corunna, MI 48817 {may change}. VE testing and club meetings are generally in the same room. This is a 'secured' building and takes a card access. Members will check the east entrance door about every five (5) minutes starting about 15 minutes ahead of 'stated time' and continue for ten minutes after start time on meeting nights. Wait a few minutes during that period and we should show a face at the door (or knock hard / pre-email or call an officer ~ see officers page).
The ARES and Skywarn Groups for the area meet at 6:00 PM during 'odd numbered months' before SARA club meetings. See the "SARA Notices" on left side of the home page for latest scheduling details. Also, we use the SARA Google group email system for updating details for these meetings with notices to all group members.
All new and prospective hams, as well as the general public, are always invited to our meetings! Shiawassee Amateur Radio Association's [SARA] meetings are held monthly on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM, except the month of December. The December meeting is replaced by a dinner event (with spouses/guests attending and COVID allowed). It is usually held at a local restaurant decided just before the event.
Watch for changes based on Covid virus - changes occur as State of Michigan modifies meeting regulations and requirements.

The club radio station, W8QQQ, is still in a state of flux. Watch SARA minutes for status reports as we make changes.
