voting members attended the January meeting enough for a quorum. If you
were not able to attend we feel you still need to be kept up to date. This
was an important meeting about what is happening in your club.
Here's the highlights:
Elections. Attempted
elections again. Current officers were "railroaded"
into holding positions until we can get through our
Repeater site issue.
Old Business
Picnic. Resumed
discussion on future club picnic. It's was decided to
hold picnic on March 10th.
Dues. Suggested to club we reduce
dues to $10 for 2007 due to current situation. Dues amount to be assessed
in Dec. '07 for the year 2008. Paying dues maintains right to vote, and
take care of smaller expenses. It was voted on and did not carry. Dues
are still $20 for the year 2007.
Sebring Hamfest LWRA
table update. Discussed further on our needs and
decided we need to purchase 3 tables. About half dozen
members have stuff to sell. Made inquiries to the Sebring
folks on table purchases and where to send money in
advance. Have not gotten a reply from them as yet.
Repeater site search report. Still
looking. Check into "Friedlander's" tower. Got bought out by
cell company. They are not interested in us. They they them selves are
in the process of being bought out too! They own 23 of the best and highest
sites in the County and thousands across the U.S.!
Asked the group if they understood our
situation, and what we have done over the years in looking for a site
or had questions. None.
Storage. Need
some one to store the shed and equipment for however
long it takes. Working on that now. Touched on expenses
of and how to move the shed.
New Business
Dues keep going to
the wrong address. The return address on the newsletter
is not the right place! Suggested changing the return
address on the newsletter to our P.O. box. ( P.O. Box
54 Lake Wales, FL 33859 )
Donation to the 'Y'.
Made a donation of $50 to the 'Y' form the LWRA.
Other Stuff
Just added more to the
numerous documents from the archives consisting of hand
written notes, topographic maps, County tower inquiries,
etc. which were displayed on a table regarding the search
for a new location dating back to 1993 to present, showing
we've done our homework. Including the lasted search
in detail.
As
a public service provider, the community depends on
us to our site loss issue! Let's hope we find a receptive
sponsor soon!
