Old Business:

Correspondence

  • Robin WA7CPA agreed to receive the accounting software password from Dennis, in case a backup Treasurer is needed.
  • Dennis is arranging to have a credit card account set up for future large purchases, so that members don’t need to use their personal cards for larger club purchases (i.e. projector, etc.) 
  • Jack N7JP reported 19 renewals via Paypal, plus 4 new members (KF7WX, K5IB, KR7EED, N1CL).  Unfortunately, there were 3 Silent Keys:  John Zantek (W7CD), Harry Hudson (K7LAZ), and Norm Ray (W7LFA).

Membership

  • Robin and Marv created an introductory letter for new members.  The draft letter will be shared on groups.io for officer and board member review, feedback, and approval.   
  • We formed a committee to manage WWDXC website administrative issues.  Committee to be headed by Rob, N7QT.  It was suggested that members should include KB2S, K7DSE, and assistance from K5EM. 
  • Justin K5EM recommended a few urgent changes to the website, to correct outdated information.  Justin to coordinate with KB2S.

Salmon Run Update

  • All Salmon Run plaques and salmon have been shipped.

Other

  • WWDXC will have an information booth and one or two tables at the Mike & Key Swapfest in Puyallup on March 12.  Adam K7EDX is coordinating this.
  • The bylaws are outdated and need to be updated.  Officers and Board Members are asked to review the Club ByLaws before the next meeting.

New Business:

  • It was agreed that a club picnic will be held in July.  Date is TBD.  Robin to investigate possible locations (i.e. parks with pavilions).
  • March club zoom meeting to be a social gathering on zoom with breakout sessions, as opposed to having a presentation.   Justin and Adam to recommend ideas on how to structure the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tom Sykes, NU7J
