The Virginia General Assembly recently issued a resolution commending the
Virginia Beach Amateur Radio Club, W4UG (VBARC).

House Joint Resolution 681 was carried in the Virginia General Assembly by
Virginia Beach Delegate Karen S. Greenhalgh. The resolution was co-patroned in
the Virginia Senate by the 8th District Senator Bill DeSteph and the 14th
District Senator John Cosgrove.

The commendation honored the VBARC for their many community contributions,
stating, "the VBARC, an American Radio Relay League Special Service Club, has
greatly served the Virginia Beach community for many years by volunteering its
time and equipment for emergency and public services, and by providing
exceptional aid to both local amateur radio enthusiasts and the community at
large through training classes, technical projects, and other activities."

House Floor before the Virginia House of Delegates.

Delegate Greenhalgh presented the framed resolution to the VBARC at their April
2023 meeting. It was accepted by VBARC Club President Doug Duggan, N4IRK.
