Please notice the instructions for the September electronic meeting. |
President’s Update: This September 10, 2022 quarterly MARC meeting will take place on line. This was decieded at the last meeting in June when gasoline prices jumped way up and Covid started to become an increasing problem. It is pretty rare that we have visitors at the in- person meeting over the past few years. The on line meeting is a good subsitute for the traavel to Lansing. Instructions on how to join in the on line meeting are included in this newsletter. The September meeting will include elections for officers. The offices of President, Secretary and one Director will be included in the election. I will not be running for President this year as I have held the position for 11 years. I hope to have more time available to train new volunteers. I will be turning over the job of Treasurer to David, KE8OHG. I have been working with David and he is ready to take on the job. I will help him by answering any questions he may have on the procedures while he settles into the position. I have been very busy and not able to work with other possible volunteers to join the MARC Board and spread out the work load. Hopefully, I will get caught up and help some others who want to volunteer their time to help with Michigan repeater coordination efforts. 73, Phil W8IC ----------------------------------------------- Electronic Meeting Information: The September 10, meeting is an Electronic Meeting at 1:00pm!
