Meeting was opened at 7:00 PM

Minutes read and approved

Old bus: Hamfest - Dale said things were going smooth so far but we are going to have to have a lot of volunteers

Trying to get older pagers changed to weather pagers.

New bus: The MS 150 is coming up in Sept. and looking for more volunteers. A very good biker race in to raise money for MS. Needed are folks with radios and willing to have a great time.

Meeting closed at 7:18PM

Yup, you are right, meeting was very SHORT but then the good times started.

THE AUCTION

Brent Voorheis was kind enough to take time out of his busy day to put on the auction. He left an auction where he was making money to come do ours for FREE. Just goes to show what kind of a man he is.

Well on with the auction. Boy you talk about a great time, just sorry you missed. The bidding was hot and heavy at times and then something else at other times HI. Needless to say a lot of treasures went home with someone else. I am sure everything will be put to good use. Bob K0YBN sure out did himself with getting so much stuff, and club members and others brought plenty.

The benefit to the club was $624.75. This will help to keep the repeater and other things going.

There will be one more club meeting before the HAMFEST so be there to find out how you can help.

Remember, you are the C.M.R.A.
