Minutes:

Well as most of you know our last meeting was at Country Kitchen Restaurant

at the usual club meeting day and time, and boy was it popular.  We had (READ

THIS!!) " 32 " present.  WOW, this is the most ever at any December meeting.

 Just remember that next year we have to beat that number so start planning now.

 It was great having so many people there and a good time was had by all. 

 If you missed it sorry.

We had a short business meeting at the

dinner.  Don KMØR brought up the fact that the 440 link had been removed from the repeater cabinet and we needed to replace this link.  Most of the equipment had been donated already but we still needed about $300 more of parts.  It was voted on and approved.  The link should be ready by January 1st or before.  The link will now be part of the CMRA equipment. 

Also a slate of members was read to have been contacted to be officers for 2004.  They are (as of now but subject to change);

President   Don  KMØR

Vice Presiden t  Bob  KØYBN

Treasurer   John  NØEG

Corr. Sec   Dale  AEØS

Recording Sec.   Dewey  WMØH

Member@Lrg  Jim  WYØB

Remember we will take names for nominations at the club meeting.  If you wish to work for the club please give Don your name or you may nominate someone.

We will be looking for you on the second Tuesday of January at Boone Electric and don't be late.  Let us make 2004 the best ever for the CMRA.
