Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2010 

The club meeting commenced at 6:00 PM, with a barbecue and pot luck dinner.  Plenty of great food, and everyone was well fed! 

President Joe Loucka called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.  He reminded everyone that Club membership dues come payable in June.  The dues are $20.00 (twenty dollars) per member, and if another ham member of the household joins, that membership is $10.00 (ten dollars) for each additional member. 

May is the month for the election of new Club officers.  The offices are President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.  Nominations, seconds, and unanimous votes for offices were:  Richard Heisman, President;  Joe Loucka, Vice President; Barry Smith, Treasurer; Mike Burkhead, Secretary.  These newly-elected persons will take office in June. 

We want to recognize Joe, AG4QC (the current Club President) for his considerable work on the 147.105 (W4FHU) repeater.  A lots of knowledge and experience go into effectively maintaining a repeater.  Not to mention the considerable time and labor involved.  A big "thank you", Joe! 

Field Day 2010 is coming up June 26 and 27.  The Club has already reserved (rented) a pavilion at Chickasaw State Park for the event.  It is the big pavilion at water's edge, below the Chickasaw Restaurant.  The June meeting will be a few days before Field Day, and the details of equipment, food, etc., will be discussed then. 

Joe, AG4QC, stated that he would do a program on repeaters at the June meeting.  His considerable knowledge of the topic will enlighten us, and we look forward to the program. 

Meeting adjourned,
President Joe Loucka, AG4QC
Secretary Mike Burkhead, K4TC
