Several awards were presented. See the attached photographs.
Steve Brodie – K5ZYZ resigned as chapter president following seven years in office. The distance that Steve drives to and from the chapter meetings and increasing cost of gasoline make it impractical for Steve to continue attending chapter meetings every month. He plans to participate three or four times a year.
Bob Olney – N5NT agreed to be chapter president (commander and chief) in the interim until somebody else agrees to assume responsibility for the office of chapter president. The most difficult task for the chapter president is storing and transporting the audio video equipment to each meeting.
Every person who received an award today is on a chapter committee to assist the chapter president.
