[IRCNews] Indianapolis Radio Club Buddy Check

[Don West]

Good morning Jeff and all IRC members.  Kudos on your excellent guidance!  Lots of misleading information circulating on the internet.  Sheila and I are hunkered down and doing well for now, except for eating way too much out of boredom!  I am determined to finding some way to make a positive contribution to helping others this week in order to stay away from the refrigerator!  
Yesterday I tried my hand at making face masks.  This thing will be over before I become proficient at THAT, hi, hi. 
Take care of yourselves everyone. 

Best Regards,
Don

Going for a walk, run, or hike, is a great idea as long as you remember not to get too close to other people.  For now, Indiana State Parks and other DNR properties are committed to staying open (including campgrounds).
