Greetings SBARC Members and
Guests
SBARC has a very
interesting club meeting planned for you this Friday night, November
18.
Of course, every November we have
our election of officers for the following year. In addition to those
nominated by our Nominating Committee, you may nominate someone from the floor
if you wish. Be sure they will be willing to serve.
Hopefully, we will also have a video
presentation of the terrific Jamboree-on-the-Air held at the Sedgwich Reserve
last month with SBARC members and the local Boy Scouts. Many Scouts are
now interested in Amateur Radio. Thanks to Justin Soenke, the son of Al
Soenke, WA6VNN, for being the videographer. The video should be very
good. I am sure you will enjoy it.
Additionally, the club will be
having its annual SIG (Special Interest Group) show-and-tell all around the
room. I hope there will be space for all the demonstrations. If you
have a special interest, please bring something to share with
us.
Also, our Book Store will be open
for business. Many ARRL books and a good variety of others will be there
for you to purchase and take home.
As usual, we will have a
"Free-To-Good-Home table" and you can add to the goodies there as well as take
home stuff from there. C'mon, clean out your shack.
Dennis, WB6OBB, will have a whole
slew of great door prizes for you to try to win. Bring some unwanted cash
-- lots of it. He needs the money.
If you feel so motivated, please
consider bringing some goodies for the refreshment table -- cookies,
cake, donuts, fresh fruit -- anything.
This promises to be one of the more
enjoyable club meetings we have had in a while. Your presence will make it
even better.
The meeting will be at the Goleta
Union School District board room, 401 N. Fairview Ave. which is directly
across the street from the Goleta Library.
The meeting starts at 7:30 P.M., but
you might like to come earlier and meet the others in our club as well as see
all the goodies at the SIG exhibits. This past Saturday at the VE testing
session, 13 folks either became hams or upgraded. Most will be coming and
it would be great for everyone to welcome them. A hand shake or a pat
on the back would be in order!
Next year's dues will again be $24
for the entire year and our Membership Chair lady Ingrid Steele, KB6MQN, will be
there to sign you up. Cash, check, money order, silver doubloons or gold
bullion will all work.
See you
Friday,
Darryl Widman,
