[NJARC] Sarnoff Collection books

[John Dilks - K2TQN]

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for listing the format.  I have about 10-12 big boxes of books 
stored.  I haven't had time to list them yet, but I will try to.

Any word on storing them somewhere yet? In about a month or so, I'll be 
looking to find a home for them.

Once we find a home, we'll need good strong shelving.  We should invest in 
something expandable so we can continue to gather books for the club, and 
have the shelves all look pretty much the same.

If anyone knows of a school being refurbished or closed - this is a good 
prospect for Library shelving.  Our local high school did this a couple of 
years ago and a bunch of the shelves were trashed.

Also-- the club should decide if they want to be IRS 501-C (or what ever 
the magic number is) so we can accept donations.  I had prospects of a 
donation for the club, but we're not ready to accept them yet. (also don't 
have the space yet either.)

73, John Dilks, K2TQN
