For Immediate
Release
"Motorcycle Mobile" Team
Prepares for the 2002 Communications Season
"Giving Something
Back" at charity events
is a way of life for group of motorcycling amateur radio
operators.
Irvine,
California; February 17, 2002 -- Numerous
charity events will be benefit from the generous donation of time,
equipment and the unique combination of amateur radios being operated
from a two-wheel motorcycle.
The
Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club -- or "MARC" -- today
announced they are in final preparations for their 2002 event
season. In addition to the addition of several new members, each
with their own motorcycle/radio combination, several new venues are
being added to the already busy schedule from past years.
"We only volunteer for communications at charity events," said
Mr. Ray Davis, one of the original founders of the group. "We
feel an obligation to give something back to those less fortunate than
ourselves, and this is the only way we feel we are accomplishing
that."
Members provide a range of volunteer services to event sponsors based on
the needs of the specific event. On most days they provide escort
services and act as a "communications link" to ensure the
safety of the participants.
"We'll be discussing more about upcoming events at our next monthly
meeting," said Davis. "We've been meeting at the Lakeview
Cafe for a long time now. They treat us well, we have our own
room, and the food is absolutely great!! We enjoy the food,
conduct our meeting, swap stories and generally just have a good
time."
About The MARC Organization
The Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club, or MARC, was founded in southern
California during 1992 by individuals seeking to combine their love of motorcycling
riding with their communications capability of amateur radio.
Interest in the group continues to grow with membership available in
several state and international chapters. Members seek to 'give
something back" through public service by providing communications at charity
events on a volunteer basis. Each member is individually responsible
for equipping and maintaining all their motorcycle and amateur radio
equipment. Additional information regarding accomplishments and/or
membership in MARC is available from their free web site at http://www.MARC-HQ.org.
