[WARC] Interesting Numbers

[Len Litvan]

Jim:

Thanks for the offer of a monthly meeting at APRS World.  What month 
would you prefer?  We are open for August and beyond.

I agree about "show-and-tell".  That's why we really need to take care 
of business through the Board of Directors separate from the monthly 
club meetings.  I feel really bad about the things
Tony W0IU has brought to the meetings--including some door prizes which 
never got awarded because of the "lights out" issue.

Sincerely & 73,
Len KC0RSX
