Winter Field Day preparations were discussed. Gerald and Curtis are in charge of getting the assets to the location: eComm, Georgetown, Generators, Antenna trailer. So far we don’t have any food planned, volunteers needed. Nancy will confirm the park reservations and gate code. Update DCARA’s field day will not be at Pilot Knoll Park as we received notice that the park will be closed for maintenance. Membership will be notified when alternate plans are made.
Elections are coming up so an election committee is needed. Volunteers needed.
Donated and surplus equipment needs to be organized and inventoried in preparation for a future auction. Plans will be made to do this once the weather is warmer, maybe March.
