Must be because only Rick or I ever have anything to put in it. Surely there is something that one of you would like to tell the rest of the membership that I could put in here for you. You need help with something? You have something to sell? You are trying something new and would like to blow your own horn? For my part, I have been in South Carolina quite a bit lately helping take care of elderly parents-in-law. Quite a chore and driving wife crazy. For anyone interested, I am planning on going to Huntsville on Sat the 17th if anyone would like to share expenses. Would like to go spend 5 or 6 thousand dollars and would like help picking out the jewels. (Like yeah!!) Anyway, if you would like to go, let me know. All plans subject to change without notice. Jerry N4RYC BREAKFAST Remember the breakfast hour in Enterprise and Ozark. Attendance in Enterprise has been 3 and in Ozark about 10. Come join us and have a good breakfast and get an early start on a Saturday. Jerry N4RYC (Correction - attendance in Ozark is usually 12-15. Rick) ------------------------------------------------ Electronic Edition: New e-mail address for KK4HC: climber28@ala.net New e-mail address for KF4JTF: rbmesser@hotmail.com I'll echo what Jerry said; we need some more input for the newsletter. Send something to geleam@snowhill.com. We could also use a few more members attending the meetings. It's only once a month and takes about 30 minutes. We not only need a quorum, but would also like your input. This is *your* club. Participate. If you have any ideas for meeting programs or speakers, let us know. Perhaps even *you* could be a speaker at one of the meetings. 73 - N4JAG Rick Violence is the result of the wolves learning the sheep have no guns.
