Topics:
1.    Field Day. The members who were there reported that things went well.  A good time was had by all. Several people got to operate and the meal got good reviews (as always).  Thanks to all who worked to set up, take down and provide food, etc.  Rich stayed overnight, which was very helpful.
2.    Positions open!  Thanks to Mike K0MN for taking over the web site!  He has gotten things started. It is a big job, so give him time and appreciation!  www.redwinghamradioclub.com is the new site address!
a.    We need a secretary!  It is not a difficult job, really!  General notes on what was covered in the meetings and sharing them at the next meeting is all there is to it.
b.    The ARES Coordinator position is open.  This involves running a quick net most Sundays (Bob or I can fill in for you as needed) and being the club member who is the goto person for disaster coverage.  We do not do as much as we could, but that is ok.  You can get into it as deeply as you want> If you have questions, Check with Bob Stone.
3.    Our next meeting is at Colvill Park (Pavillion #3).  We will have a brief meeting at 9:00 AM and then run our Special Event Station until 3:00 PM or so.  We have the pavilion until 3:30 PM.  An informal survey of the members at the meeting showed that a “dish to pass” was the way people wanted to handle lunch (not pizza). This is a great opportunity for people to get on the air in a less formal situation.  

Other issues:
Report that old minutes may be recovered through waybackmachine.com.  (Thanks Matt)
Towers: May be sold/bought by us. Options abound
EOC: We have been forgotten and are not actually sure who is in charge now. There is a nuke drill on the horizon, but we have been left out. I had asked about training with the new equipment, but never heard back.
