We will have annual election of officers at the December meeting.
The annual Christmas Party was held at valley View and even better than last year. The food was really good and the company was the best. I really enjoyed myself.
Thanks to Bob Leo W7LR for making all the arrangements this year and last.
Jack N7ODN is holding Technician level classes at MSU and has 8 students and it looks as if all are doing well. And will be ready for the exams Dec 8th.
Jack N7ODN has said that he will be holding a General Class training session in Feb.
Thanks Jack for all the hard work in putting on the classes and in heading up the examination sessions as well.
This will be my last month as president of GHRC and I wish to say that it has been a great experience and a lot of fun working with everyone. But I Feel that 2 years in a row is enough to be president. I just hope I haven't too bad for the club.
Thanks everyone of you for the help and support.
