We had a great September meeting, with 14 total present, consisting of 13 members (3 officers), and one visitor.
The meeting was displaced to one of the outdoor pavilions, since the firehouse training room appeared to be in use for firehouse training! It’s like they think they own the place! 🙂
Our Illustrious Secretary could not make the meeting so we had to make do with our previous secretary (myself, N9XRY).
Treasurer’s report was given, and we are in good shape there.
The EOARC repeater is doing fine.
The Ste. Gen repeater is down. Matthew Clubb is working with the SteGen club to get them back up.
