Publicity:
Dennis C. Calvey KD9HIK:
Upon checking ARRL listing, Dennis determined SARC is correctly listed as an affiliate club but we’re not seeing appropriate search results when entering either ZIP 60193 or 60194.
Social: Chair open
John Douglas KD9KSH reports we have met our January Holiday Party attendance requirement.
Education:
Leo Ribordy N9NBH: No report.
Programs:
Don Dewar KD9NJR: Planned but technical issues caused the presentation to succumb to Microsoft Undocumented Feature. Try again during our February Business Meeting.
Old Business:
Don Dewar KD9NJR explained November’s Constitutional revisions were simply a ‘clean-up’ of outdated verbiage. There is no new wording. Items such as Budget, Audits, and Club Asset Records are not affected. November’s vote was simply UP/DOWN choice.
Don has enlisted editing help tonight so that our Board of Directors is able to publish a clean document.
New Business:
Chris Brewer AC9GN will be working on our budget for 2024 and requested SARC Committees submit their budget requests to begin the process.
Adjourn: 7:29 PM
