Fellow club members,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Its now
time to cast your ballot for our officers for the upcoming year. We have
the option to do this at the live meeting, Saturday October 6 at the
Pineville hamfest, OR by online voting. For those who haven't made plans
to attend the meeting, but who do want to exercise there right to vote,
go to the club web site, and just below the scrolling red banner, click
the link for ballot form. The actual ballot page is password protected,
but the user and password are right there on the right, in a box, and
they ARE case sensitive.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>We had no
nominations during the last meeting, and the online option only netted us
one nominee each for President, Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer.
With no opposition, these three will be be considered elected by
acclamation, but still appear on the ballot page. There were three valid
nominees for the Directors positions. Please make your choice for ONLY
TWO. When done, hit the "submit" button and your vote will be
emailed to each of the election committee's members, who have been tasked
to receive, tally and bring to the live meeting the results of all online
voting.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Speaking
of the meeting, the LOCATION HAS CHANGED. There was a booking conflict
and the hamfest has moved from Kees Park to the <b>Pineville Community
Center</b> at 708 Main Street in Downtown Pineville. This is also US 165
<b>Business</b> Route. For those who are GPS savy, the coordinates
are:<br>
31<font face="Arial, Helvetica">° 19' 17.82 N 92° 26' 05.42W
OR<br>
</font><font face="MS Shell Dlg, Geneva">31.321949 lat and
-92.435292 lon<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Its
actually not hard to find. Take the same exit that we usually take for
Kees Park, but instead of going East on Hwy 28, go West on Griffith
Street for about 3 blocks. Turn LEFT onto Donahue Ferry road and after
about 2/3 mile, go left onto Military Highway/Main Street/US 165
Business. The community center will be 6/10 of a mile on the
left.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Our
meeting time is set for 10 AM, and there IS another meeting immediately
after ours. Because we have several business items to cover and we will
have limited time, we will not try to squeeze in a presentation, but
rather will have some discussion of several items of interest to the
club. On the other hand, Steve, KG5VK participated in a multi at TI5 last
year, and has a very nice presentation he will be sharing at one of the
upcoming meetings in 2013. <br><br>
See you Saturday.<br><br>
73,<br>
Mark, K5ER</font></body>
