There were 32 in attendance (plus Buddy, the official shack dog of KN4LEH) and the location was well received by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a variety of topics discussed at the meeting.  Among them were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Recognizing Michelle Rhinesmith, Development Director for the Aerospace Center for Excellence and expressing the gratitude of the club for inviting us out<\/li><li>&#8220;In person&#8221; introduction of new club Public Information Officer Jimmy Russ, AB4KA, who made an announcement to the attendees regarding classified ads on the blog (if you&#8217;ve to stuff to sell, we want to list it for you!)<\/li><li><strong>blogmaster@lakelandarc.org<\/strong>, which is a new email address for members to send photos they take of club events, non-club events and general ham radio stuff (send those photos in!)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-624x832.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/blog.lakelandarc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2083.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Because a photo of Rich Kennedy, N4ESS with a helicopter makes any blog post better<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The big news was our upcoming election of club officers.  Matt Stevens, NJ4Y presented information regarding the elections.  The club is in need of members to fill the following positions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vice President<\/li><li>Secretary<\/li><li>Treasurer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominations are due no later than October 2nd, ten days prior to the October club meeting.  Please consider volunteering for a position as your club needs you&#8230;no experience necessary!  Results of the nominations will be announced at the October 12 meeting with elections to be held at the November meeting.  Rich Kennedy, N4ESS spoke briefly about being a club officer.  Rich has extensive experience as an officer in the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club, and encouraged folks to volunteer (Rich is our E.F. Hutton&#8230;when Rich talks, people listen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Club President Mike Shreve, N6MRS also discussed the NJQRP Skeeter Hunt, a qrp operating event that was held August 16th.  If you&#8217;re a qrp aficionado who enjoys portable operation, this is right up your alley!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the club meeting, a number of folks took the plunge and took their amateur radio license exams.  Congratulations to our new crop of hams&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kenneth Evers, KO4HIF<\/li><li>Armando Matos, KO4HIG<\/li><li>Ken Waibel, KO4HIH<\/li><li>David Kelsey, KO4HII<\/li><li>Corey Edmundson, KO4HIJ<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us in congratulating our new amateur radio licensees!
