I encourage everyone to come to the meeting this month. There have not been enough members present on the last two meeting nights to have a quorum therefore we have not had an official meeting since January. We are considering changing our meeting place and we need your thoughts and ideas on a new location. In the last newsletter I mention that Sonny and Beth have left the area and we are in need of a PIO. As of now no one has volunteered to fill that position. If you are able to give a little time your service will be greatly appreciated. Field Day is on June 26-27 this year. We need to plans for this year's activities and decide if we want to participate officially or have a picnic. The club has not participated in Field Day for the last two years however we did get together and have a picnic. ====================================== Electronic Edition Only Rob has changed his e-mail address: kc4gd@arrl.net Randy - KF4JTF now has e-mail: rbmesser@snowhill.com Nothing much else to add. I know you're getting this via e-mail, but I still need to keep the printed roster up-to-date. If you have a new address (or even think you do) please check and let me know with a short e-mail note.
