DISTRICT CALENDAR
Thanks to Linda Skvarla, ADSO-PB, the 5NR District Calendar has been updated through February 2019.
As you are aware, the printed District Calendars have stopped. The information has been transferred to the 5NR
website. This way the information can be updated as needed throughout the year. Please let us know if something
needs to be changed.

TOPSIDE ARCHIVES
Thanks to the work of the TOPSIDE Restoration Team, which includes Linda Skvarla, Joe Giannattasio, and
Tim Marks TOPSIDE editions from 1998 through 2005 have been put of PDF format. As a result of this, all of
5NR will have access to these old issues, thus preserving some of the history of the district. With this initial phase
completed, the publication team will proceed in an attempt to obtain as many old issues of TOPSIDE as possible,
convert them to readable PDFs, and get them uploaded so the membership can view them.
These TOPSIDE issues and any other we obtain and convert to current formats will be accessible on the 5NR
website for everyone to view. A special thank you to Linda Skvarla for her tireless work in restoring these old
issues.
