- Robin WA7CPA agreed to receive the accounting software password from Dennis, in case a backup Treasurer is needed.

Other

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.
