Our Monthly Board Meetings are at a new time and place!

Board meetings are now on Saturday @ J&M after our monthly weekend breakfast the fourth Saturday of most months. Meeting will begin at 11am. Due to summer and winter field day, January and June our board meeting will be the previous week also at 11am.

So, this months board meeting will be a week earlier on January 20th at J&M 11am.
That will be after 8am testing at Hyatt’s QTH. Makes perfect sense right?
