The Club’s Annual Meeting will be on Sunday, April 6 at 2 PM in the Custer Institute and Observatory on 1115 Main Bayview Rd., Southold, NY.
Two very important items are on this meeting’s agenda.
- You will be asked to either accept or reject the attached revised Constitution and Regulations.
- You will elect four of the five Club’s Officers. The following four people have volunteered to be a club’s officer.
- Dick Trowbridge, N2YIB – President.
- Keith Radich (KD2KAR) – Vice President.
- Andy Joinnides (KD2VSJ) – Treasurer.
- Phil Gallanti (KE2ECC) – Member at Large.
I unequivocally endorse each of the nominees. They have shown their interest in the Club by attending nearly every meeting and by participating in the Club’s activities. Each one has made significant contributions at the Club’s meetings.
Yet the Club needs a Secretary! Gary Utz (KE2YK) has been a very significant and welcomed contributor as both the Club’s Vice President and its Secretary. He was a superb VP! He backed me when I was caught off guard. And his ingenious ideas have added to the Club’s vitality. And, as the Club’s Secretary, he accurately took the minutes of the Club’s meetings and has made sure the Club’s ad was submitted to the Suffolk Times in time for it to be published every week. Gary has been my right-hand and confidant too. I will miss his contributions as the Club’s VP and Secretary. I refuse to lose him. So, Gary has agreed to remain active in the Club and be responsible for doing those Special Projects that’ll hopefully make the Club more interesting to the Club’s members. I’ll give him the title of “Dreamer.” And he’ll remain as my right hand and confidant too.
A win-win for both the Club and for me too. And maybe Gary will consider it to be a win for him too.
But the Club still needs a secretary! The Secretary’s duties stated in the revised Constitution and Regulations accurately describe most of what must be done by the Secretary to keep the Club viable and legally responsible. In the absence of having someone in the Club willing to take on these duties, I have been doing them. And if I can do them, most anyone can do them. Do you have someone in mind who would be willing to be the Club’s Secretary? Maybe you’d like to give a try? Please let me know. I need help! And your help will be appreciated!
Please look over the attached Constitution and Regulations and attend the Club’s meeting on Sunday, April 6 at 2 PM to vote to either accept or reject the revised Peconic Amateur Radio Club’s Constitution and Regulations.
And, please attend to give your support to the members who volunteered to be PARC’s officers.
