President’s Update: This December 9, 2023 quarterly MARC meeting will take place on line. Details of connecting to the meeting can be found below. Thanks to the Efforts of Vice President Keith Armitage KD8ZSK, we have had a number of inquiries for new volunteers. This task has been long in coming, and it is good to see the interest grow. Hopefully we will be introducing these volunteers at the upcoming meeting on December 9th. I do recommend that if you plan to attend using your computer audio, that you download the software and test to make sure that your sound and Microphone work as intended before the meeting begins. Our current board has been busy trying to keep up with all of the tasks that need to be done, and Phil W8IC is spending much time right now training the new volunteers. I really need to say a special thanks to Phil for the efforts he is making. Of course, as we bring this year to a close, we also ask people to take a look and see when the last time their TDS was updated. Taking the New Year as a good time to remind us that we need to update the TDS for our repeaters annually. I hope that everyone has a blessed and happy holiday season this year. 73, Dan N8WKM ----------------------------------------------- Electronic Meeting Information: The December 9, meeting is an Electronic Meeting at 1:00pm!
