[K3PZN-List] April 2005 Club Meeting Minutes

[K3MTT]

Bill
Please correct my name. Change from Fred to FRANK
K3MTT.  Also for the time being, I will continue
to produce the member badges so I should remain a
part of the membership committee as I have been in
the past.  We will need some supplies as we are
running out after doing them for a couple of
years. Shirley should contact me when she is
preparing the budget for Membership. Whether we
continue with badges beyond the present supply of
materials will depend on approval of the
Membership budget which will include badge
materials.

By the way, I have a Club address stamp and stamp
pad that I will give to you next meeting (I will
bring to BOD meeting).

seconded the motion.  After some debate, the
motion was approved by unanimous consent.  Doug
