AC7RY Les, moved to donate 525.00 to support one child

is a camp for kids with cancer to give them a support.
After significant discussion by many members of the club,
the motion was voted down.
A follow up motion by Gerry to annually donate 5% of the
dues to a worthy charity was also voted down.
One person make the point that he felt dues should go directly to the
support of the club and charity donations should be an individuals decision.

coax runs. KC7EWZ volunteered to
chair the effort.
