AREC is a volunteer organisation and depends on generous support of its volunteers, sponsors and funding organisations. Thanks Aotearoa Gaming Trust and George Wilson Sales for your support of our Southland Group.
Soren Low, ZL1SKL was recently presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for his work as an AREC volunteer.Despite a busy work schedule at his “real job” Soren is always willing to assist and foster AREC members, particularly new hams, and has put countless hours into helping develop AREC. He fulfils leadership roles as Group Leader of Auckland Branch 02 AREC and Deputy District Manager AREC Auckland District
As well as the AREC Team at Culverden assisting the LandSAR Teams and Police at the forward base for the recent search near Culverden, they also assisted with communications and technology for the IMT (Incident Management Team) back at the Central Police station EOC (Emergency Operations Centre).
A good result. Thanks to the Canterbury AREC team woken early to head out to Culverden to assist Police and LandSAR teams for this search.Members of OSAR were mobilised to the Hurunui District this morning to assist Hanmer Springs LandSAR, Hurunui LandSAR, AREC, and LandSAR Dogs in the search for a person who had been missing overnight on Mt Culverden.Thankfully, the missing person was found safe and well and returned home with the assistance of their family.
