(FIRST MEETING NOTES TO THE WEB)
Hi all,
Perhaps this BLOG will be the answer to the large file problems some have when I attempt to send these notes as an attachment to your eMail. If you want to see the photos I took today check out the links to PHOTO ACCESS (PHOTO WORKS) above.
We had 18 valiant members in attendance today. We had no program scheduled but some say it turned out to be one of our best meetings in recent times.
Bill N4ZZO brought us up to date on the condition of Frank KK4RW. Frank is stable and improving. He is at Fish Memorial Hospital on Saxon Blvd in Orange City Room 237. I can say from experience that you can visit at about any reasonable hour. Frank has a phone in his room but I haven't learned what the number is.
I reported that the Roster & Donut fund balance was $334.66. We took in $10 and change and I spent $2.64 on a half dozen donuts, we didn't need the usual dozen because we had a box of cookies left over from last week.
I received a thank you letter from Catholic Charities and one from the Salvation Army. We gave them each $50 for hurricane Katrina relief about a month ago.
We were happy to see John Weber WB2JIR while missing the Maxwells and the Washingtons.
Hank, N4TJO, gave us a great talk about how one should improvise when an electronics problem crops up. I posted the pictures of Hank giving his talk and pictures of his drawings, take a look.
Jack WD8QYU read a two page letter from the granddaughter of Joe Chaput N9ZGU. She is teaching English in mainland Communist China and wrote a very interesting and entertaining letter relating her life and some of the unusual things she has witnessed in the last big Red Republic.
One of her humorous experiences was when she went to the bakery and asked them if they could make unsweetened bread. They said they could not. She wondered why they could not just skip the step that says "Add sugar!" ;-)
NEXT WEEK IS THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
Set up tables and chairs (do we have enough since the firehouse went full time? Bring some comfortable lawn chairs and a fold up table if you have them, just in case.
Table covering (I will bring this.)
Coffee (Joey will brew a pot as usual ;-)
Tea, I'll get ice tea, lemonade and water
Napkins (we have them in our supplies, right Joey?)
Cups (we have them) and plastic glasses (I have club's supply)
Jack will bring Barbara who will bring fish chowder ;-)
Everyone bring a covered dish, a little extra to feed the firemen whom we have invited to eat with us, probably 3 people max.)
Bring table service, I'm told there are some for the firemen in firehouse.
If you cannot bring anything please don't let that dissuade you from coming, we always have more than we can eat and we never examine arrivals to see what they are bringing ;-)
Throw extra "stuff" in your car "just in case."
