Update from our club president Ron Matusek, WA6TQH:

Texas Governor Announces 100% Reopening, No More Mask Mandate After Months Of Closures

After nearly a year of mandating lockdowns and closures in the state, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted his COVID-19 restrictions, effectively opening all businesses and abolishing the statewide mask mandate by March 10.  This means NARS can resume all Monthly meetings in person at the Klein Fire Department Admin Building, our normal location. 

IMPORTANT: NARS will continue to encourage social distancing and the use of masks at the facility.

The Harris County COVID Alert Level remains at Level 2, as described below:

Current Level:

There are four levels:

  • Level 1 - Severe (red) Stay Home (current)
  • Level 2 - Significant (orange) Minimize All Contacts
  • Level 3 - Moderate (yellow) Stay Vigilant
  • Level 4 - Minimal (green) Resume Normal Contacts

If testing is available, please visit our testing information page for current requirements and guidelines. Thanks for being considerate.

The March meeting will be in person at the Klein Fire Department Administration building. ZOOM will also be available, but we encourage in-person attendance if possible. Health guidelines - masks and social distancing - will be in effect.

VE Session scheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2021.
