Superbowl kickoff is also that date at 5:30pm...
Unfortunately I am not attending. I have attended previous Superbowls there. Because VFW3115 is one of the few venues in Wichita that sells adult beverages and people can smoke. It draws an excessive amount of smokers who enjoy sports.
Current CDC.GOV statistics: Men were more likely than women to currently smoke cigarettes. About 14 of every 100 adult men (14.1%) About 11 of every 100 adult women (11.0%)
They get the business and open up all 3 tiers of the building for such events. Smokers specifically come to 3115 because Derby VFW , Haysville VFW, and Mulvane American Legion all all smoke free. American Legion post 4 at Murdock and Water is closed on Sundays.. So expect a crowd, a crowd of SMOKERS!
HAM RADIO RELATED PROPOSAL:
Everyone knows Ham Radio Gear reacts negatively to smoke. It lowers value of any rig that's the operator is a smoker. I'd like to propose we make the VFW post 3115 radio room NON-SMOKING for that reason. Perhaps:
#1. Post a sign - SMOKING PROHIBITED IN RADIO ROOM on the door.
#2. Repair the door vent to include a HEPA filter, as there is an exhaust fan all ready in the ceiling in the radio room, but no filtering of incoming air.
The fan is controlled with a switch next to the light switch.
