Review/approve minutes

·         The January minutes were approved by a voice vote

Correspondence

·         The board approved $200 each for the VU4PB and T6PSE DXpeditions. These two funding requests were tabled last year due to budget constraints.

Treasurer's report

·         The January Treasurer's report was reviewed and approved.

·         The IRS rejected our latest 990-N (non-profit form). The IRS has no record of the WWDXC as a 501-C3 organization under the EIN submitted on the form. Marina consulted with the IRS and they are making some changes. More info will be available at the end of April. The club already has by-laws and other paperwork that are needed to qualify for 501-C3 status.

Membership

There were four renewals during February. We have 137 paid up members.

Old business

·         Salmon Run certificates have been printed and the e-mailed certificates are done. The physical certs and salmon boxes did NOT get mailed by February 28th as stated in the January minutes. This was due to the delay in getting the printed certs to Paul. Now that he has them, the process of shipping can go forward.

·         We welcomed new director Rob Gregory KD7H

New Business

Due to extended discussions of the Pacific NW DX convention, new business was tabled until the March meeting.

Special events status

·         Flyers for the DX convention will be printed and available at the Mike and Key hamfest, Visalia, and Comm Academy.

·         There was much discussion of details for the DX convention.

Monthly dinner/meeting

Jim K7EG is slated to present an overview of the Reverse Beacon Network. We need programs for April and beyond.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM

Respectfully submitted

Paul Beringer

WWDXC Secretary
