Our June SMCARA meeting will be held at the Hollywood VFD Bingo Hall. We
will be practicing using Field Day logging software/computers.

re-election this year. 
N1LID spoke at length expressing the importance of other association members
stepping up to the plate and volunteering for officer positions.  

Field Day 2017 is June 24-25 and will take place behind the Hollywood VFD.
Tom Clarke (W4OKW) has graciously volunteered to be the coordinator. 

Ms. June Entzi (KC3GYL) is the Field Day Food Czar.  Contact June (sooner
rather than later) to let he know what side dish you are bringing. 

Tom (ND3N) is looking for association members to hold the annual SMCARA
inventory. Please contact Tom Clarke and Tom Shelton if you can assist.

	Must be a member in good standing
	Must have the ability to gain access to the base
	Cannot be a current association officer

The future of the SMCARA website was discussed.  There are several concerns:
1). The domain name renewal is due in early May (~$200).
2). The site has not been updated for approximately one year.
3). We do not have anyone with experience using HTML editor software to
create/update the site.
Ms. June has volunteered to learn how to use an HTML editor.

Question: Does the Association want to continue to fund the www site?  Is it
needed?  What are we missing by not having a site?

The meeting was adjourned at 2015.
