MINUTES OF THE 7 Oct 10 ROGUE VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB MEETING
The meeting was called to order by President Herb Grey W7MMI at 1905L in the Red Cross building in Medford, OR. Herb had the guests introduce themselves. They are KA0CZW, Bill and Dan KF7EPA.
Herb said, “since the minutes are in the newsletter they will not be read.” Treasurer Lud Sibley, KB2EVN said, “the approximate treasury balance is $1400 plus.”
OLD BUSINESS: When all of Pete Bateman’s stuff is sold the club should realize almost $2000. Lud will provide details next month after the checks have cleared.
NEW BUSINESS: After much discussion president Herb Grey asked for a motion that next meeting we vote to select one of the following newsletter mailing options:
- Option 1 – Drop the paper newsletter mailing altogether. Bring a few copies to the meeting for people without internet access.
- Option 2 – Keep current dues, give a $4 discount to members who elect email-only newsletter.
- Option 3 – Keep current dues, add a $4 surcharge to members who want paper mailed newsletter.
Tom, N5EG made the motion, and Walt, KG6MZU seconded it.
Herb assigned Scott KD7EHB, Tom and Walt to the nominating committee.
At 1945L Herb put the meeting on hold for coffee and “eye ball” QSO. At 2000L Herb called the meeting back into session.
