From w9dp at w9dp.us Wed Dec 1 12:24:38 2021 From: w9dp at w9dp.us (w9dp at w9dp.us) Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 11:24:38 -0600 Subject: [WIARC] meeting, election and dues Message-ID: <014801d7e6d8$51cb95a0$f562c0e0$@w9dp.us> A reminder, meeting tonight at 7:00 PM at Twin Oaks. N9JF will be having a Zoom session of the meeting, if you want to attend via Zoom, contact n9jf at arrl.net. The election of officers for 2022 will take place at the meeting tonight. There will be an informal program after the business meeting in form of a hands on show and tell about CW paddles. There will be a few different brands of paddles for you to try and see what you like best. If you have a set of paddles you like to use and are willing to bring them to the meeting for others to try, feel free to do so. I failed to neglect earlier that 2022 dues are due January 1 and can be paid at any time (with the exception of a few members that recently joined, you were credited through 2022). You can pay your dues at any meeting or mail them to our club treasurer, K9VXD (mailing them directly to Arnold will speed up the process and keep Arnold from having to go to the Post Office). If you are not sure where you stand with your membership, check with K9VXD. Arnold Gerst 2603 Kings Pointe SW Quincy, IL 62305 You can still mail your dues to the club PO Box, it just may take a bit longer to get processed. Western Illinois ARC PO Box 3132 Quincy, IL 62305 I hope to see you at the meeting this evening.
