OFFICER ELECTIONS
It is time once again to nominate and elect club officers. We failed to take
nominations for club officers at the last meeting and I am asking those
interested to step forward and submit their name at the next meeting. Ray
Mullins has offered his services as treasurer and so the current list of
nominees are:
president;
vice-resident;
treasurer; Ray Mullins; KD4RSL
secretary;

FIELD DAY
Due to circumstances beyond our control our annual Field Day event must be
moved from Park View high school in Sterling Park to Stonebridge high school
in Ashburn. The event is June 22 & 23 and plans will be completed at the net
meeting.
