> I would like to thank those that helped out with the 2025 Hamfest. My biggest observation this year was that everyone had a good time! Not only the club members that did the work, but it was a happy atmosphere throughout the vendors and buyers. We had an increase in the groups that showed up, Air Force MARS, FLEX radio, ARRL, and a new “social” table in the “B” room for the GMRS group, “Hunterdon 600”. They had about 15 people show up!

> Past president Kurt (KR2C) who inspired me to run for president and is one of the knowledge holders and historians for how things are done.
> Vice president Rob, (WA2RT) who is one of the “get it done” guys who pushes me along. He did most of the leg work to send our old trailer off to greener pastures (literally) and kept us moving to get our new digs and nice new storage container - that should serve the club for decades.  Rob and I have been holding a lot of club equipment for hamfest and field day at our shops.  After this hamfest, it all went to the new container!
> Past treasurer John (KD2GUX) who keeps me on track with important items that need to be done.
> Current Treasurer Steve (KD2OTK) who took the job of keeping track of the cash.
> Past Secretary Tony (W2HWW) who is our biggest wealth of knowledge and vendor greeter (takes their money).
> Current Secretary Wes (K2TZ), who not only does club secretary work, but manned the kitchen, which did better than last year!
> Of course George (AC2NX) another get it done/hard work guy, setting up the PA system and many other things and reminders.
> Thank you Sunny (KD2OTI) for the hard work and being pizza runner. Sorry Kurt, but the pizza was the best this year. Unlike the year that I forgot it.
> Don (KD2OTJ) allays jumping in for the hard work, and manning the club table.
> Thank you to Chris (AA2MJ) who donated a new in the box Hy-Gain yagi that brought in $700 at the club table.
> We had about 20 members show up Friday night for set-up, it was done in just under an hour and a half, and all that showed up to run the hamfest.
> So lets move forward, now that our big event is in the books, we have elections, we continue with the repeater upgrade, and look forward to field day, then the Lebanon parade.
