As a volunteer for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) R2D3 of Park County Colorado, I am sponsoring a fundraiser through OneHope in which 10% of wine sales (yes, wine) goes to the ARES R2D3 organization. I have set a goal of raising $1,000 for this event. Here is the link to the event that ends at the end of April

. ARES R2D3 is made up with volunteer members with various skill levels and from several Colorado counties. We have a Board of Directors that has formal training or special skills in various areas.
Over the past several years ARES R2D3 has been involved in a number of situations which called for communication back up, such as the “Buffalo Creek” fire in 1996, the “Alma situation” in 1998, the “Hi Meadow Fire” in 2000, the “Snaking”, “Black Mountain”, “Schoonover”, and “Hayman” fires in the summer of 2002.
