The November 2018 Meeting

 One New Tech and One New Extra

Jim KN4QCN left a new Tech,  and Andrew WX4AMS new Extra are congratulated by VE Richard W8DUK.

 

Election Results

First the highlights. We have a new Vice President, Mike Shreve. In addition, we have three new board members, Glenn Culler, Aimee Holzer, and Dave Lafave. Bob Doherty stepped down as VP to take care of family matters. We wish him well, and his grandson a speedy recovery. The club benefited greatly by his organizational skills and his ability to line up great speakers for our meetings. Al Sheppard has also stepped down as active board member. He has relocated to Naples Florida to be closer to his son. We will miss his quick wit, kind words, and helpful direction.

For 2018
    • President Matthew Stevens
    • Vice President Mike Shreve
    • Secretary Bill Johnson
    • Treasurer Patrick O’Neil

Board members:
James Stewart, Mike Oliver, David Zdanowicz, Glenn Culler, Geoff Schuck, Stephanie Hildreth, Kevin Rought, Richard Kennedy, Aimee Holzer, and Dave Lafave

Our Main Presenter For The Evening James Stewart

If all local communication fails Winlink will enable you to reach anyone in the world with internet access.
