President’s Message

Thank you to the four members and two guests that came out last night for our general membership meeting.

Good meeting last night, here are a few changes I would like to make.

The first change is our board meetings, Arats board will now meet one hour prior to the general membership meeting on the third Wednesday Night of every month.

Arats Next Board Meeting is Wednesday November 9 at 6pm. Location:Tonawanda City Hall 200 Niagara Street, City of Tonawanda NY.

The second change proposed is our Thursday Night Net, Arats Net will now start at 8pm.

We talked about geting more intersting programs for our members.

I am giong to set up a couple of field trips next summer with are local border patrol on grand island for a tour. Several years back I arranged for are club to go to the grand island location and it was well attended by our members. Once I make contact with thier agency for a time and date to see what is available I will have Bob put out a email asking members if they would like to go on a Wednesday Night or a Saturday affternoon.

I will have more information as we get closer to the date.

We talked about having a kit building class as one of our programs. Keith WB2VUO would like to give another anntenna class.

Other field trips I am planing are Niagara County Dispach Center and Tonawanda City Police Dispach.

Our annual Christmas Party is on Wednesday December 18, at Tonawanda City Hall, 200 Niagara Street, Tonaanda NY. Please start planing to attend this annual party, on the menu once again will be roast beef and turkey.

I am tossing around a copple of ideas for that night, we will hold a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ Raffle and possably Raffle off a radio again.

I have other ideas for that night.

Thank you members,

Your President, Bob KC2SZQ>
