Hello Hams!
Fearless Leader, here.
Thank you Bruce/AJ6FB for doing the net tonight. The guys who work the net every week do this as a labor of love for the club and the hobby.
I want to encourage you all to volunteer for the upcoming events, as we have a busy summer. Grinduro is just around the corner and we are still in need of volunteers to cover all available positions for the days of the event. This is a unique opportunity to show the community that we are still here after the pandemic and to stay another 75 years.
Grinduro Race dates are May 19th through the 21st. We need parking patrol people, health and welfare monitoring for overnight and other folks to make the event on our end go as smoothly as possible. Non hams are encouraged to participate.
Shack Day is this Saturday starting 10 and usually clears out by 2, On the agenda is housekeeping, prewiring for security cameras and prepping for the meeting the following Wednesday (Meeting 5/18 @6PM). Bring some snack to share. The fridge has sodas.
There will be a Meeting Next week at 6pm and there will be an accompanying Zoom component for those who cannot be there in person.

January 1, 2021
Hello Hams:
Fearless Leader here.
January is election month…for the club.
Offices that are coming up for election are:
***President
***Vice president
***Secretary
**Treasurer
All active members are eligible for offices. If you are interested in one of these offices, please send your name, call sign and the office you wish to run for to our club secretary. Go to the club roster for the email.
Only standing and current club members may run for office and vote for offices.
So make sure your dues are current.
Any club members who have not paid dues for 2021 should send in their dues, soon.
I want to thank everyone for allowing me to be of service to the club. This past year has been a trial for everyone, but we made it.
Other business:
Ken/KD6MC and I have been working to get a sign made for the building. The preliminary cost is $150. As soon as I can get a hard estimate and a mock up from the sign maker, I will forward it to you, for a vote. I wish to make it possible for everyone to pitch in a few bucks toward the purchase price of the sign. If everyone does a little, the heavy jobs seem lighter.
Thank you again and 73
