GSBARC participates in many different types of events during the year. 
Some events we sponsor and others we assist with.
All of these events are handled by volunteers who usually work with their own or club owned equipment.
Our purpose for volunteering for these events is so in case there is an incident of any kind, proper emergency communications and help maybe reached.
Participating in these events also helps increase public knowledge of Amateur Radio.
We hope that each event runs smoothly.
