The meeting was called to order by President Tom Harrison (N9PQJ) at 7:30 p.m.
The minutes from the meeting on August 2, 2011 were distributed and reviewed. Steve Schulze (N9UDO) motioned to accept the minutes as published. Dave Spearing (KB9CSW) seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
Don Evenson (K9JYX) presented the treasures report. The swapfest was our big fund raiser for the year. After all income and expenses, our net profit was $xx3.70. Also, Steve (N9UDO) was reimbursed $20.00 for paying our annual W.A.R. renewal. This leaves us with a balance of $xx21.11. A motion was made by Jane Steinweg (N9JAS), and seconded by Drew Smith (KC9LJK) to accept the treasurer's report as presented. The motion passed by unanimous vote.
Old Business:
Hamfest report: All but 1 table was sold. YTARC congratulates 4 successful VE testing candidates: 2 new Techs, and 2 new Extras. Well done! Next year's hamfest will be on August 25, 2012. Mark your calendar. Several sites are being investigated. If you have any ideas, please let us know.
After some discussion, Don (K9JYX) made a motion to allow the technical committee to purchase a new antenna analyzer for the club. The motion was seconded by Steve (N9UDO), and the vote passed unanimously.
New Business:
The web site problems seem to have been resolved. If you notice anything still amiss, email Steve (N9UDO) at: email link. Thank you, Steve, for your continued effort in this area.
It is time to prepare for our annual holiday party! January 14, 2012 was proposed by Steve (N9UDO) and seconded by Drew (KC9LJK). The club unanimously approved the date. Several sites are under consideration. If you have any ideas, please forward them to Tom (N9PQJ) at: email link.
In looking at the club's historical documents, Tom (N9PQJ) noticed that we have two active members from the original charter group that are not Life Members. Steve (N9UDO) made a motion to make Don (K9JYX) and Ken Ebneter (K9EN) Life Members in recognition of their ongoing club support. This motion was seconded by Jane (N9JAS), and the vote was unanimous. Congratulations Don (K9JYX) and Ken (K9EN)!
At the October 4th, 2011 meeting, we will be electing club officers for the coming year. So far, the current board members have been nominated for re-election. Nominations will also be accepted by email, or from the floor, prior to the October 4th vote.
Since our annual swapfest has been moved from July to August ( ed. 2nd Saturday in August to the 4th Saturday in August) for the past few years, the officer elections have been postponed until August. Our By-laws currently state that elections are to be held in August. Drew (KC9LJK) proposed that our By-laws Article VI, section 2, be amended as follows:
1. Elections be held in October, and
2. Email nominations be accepted until September 15.
3. Nominations will still be accepted from the floor prior to the vote.
This motion was seconded by Gary Sorenson (W9ULK) and passed unanimously. This proposed amendment will be voted on by the general membership at our next meeting (Oct. 4, 2011) in keeping with our By-laws.
Don (K9JYX) motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 p.m. and was seconded by Rick Osbon (KC9PLG). The vote was unanimous.
Our next meeting will be October 4, 2011. See y'all then!
