Candidates for President, Vise President, Secretary, Treasurer & 5 Director positions are in question more this year than in previous years. Our Vise President KN6UNL & our Treasurer KN6MJS are both stepping down this year. We also will see some changes in our board. I am excited to see members stepping up to be considered for our board and some officer positions, however we are in need of a new treasurer. If you are interested, please let one of our officers or anyone on the election committee know so we can call you and talk you into it.
Karen was our treasurer when I joined the club and she has stayed on for many years now.
Karen we are so grateful for your service and dedication to our club. Karen I know it’s your intention to stay active in our club and in support of our events.
Anyone who can possibly be convinced to fill this position for 2026 please let us know.
