THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Brian Carter, KCØDWXLast month MAARS selected Mike Moore NØPVU as the new trustee to take over from Henry (KAØSWM). Paperwork has been filed with ARRL to make this change.
The hamfest and Kansas State Convention will be held in Salina on the 15th. Friday's meeting will be a good time for people to make carpooling arrangements if they are interested in attending this year's convention.
The August meeting will be held on August 13, at 7:30 P.M. at 2601 Anderson Ave. in Manhattan. A change this month for dinner after some discussion we have decided to try a new location. We will meet at the Village Inn in Manhattan, across the street from the Mall. Members should arrive around 5:30 for dinner and conversation. As usual, all members and guests as well as anyone with an interest in amateur radio is encouraged to join us at both the eating meeting as well as the club meeting.
See you there.
