PRESIDENT\u2019S REPORT – <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>W4SAR (David<\/span><\/span><\/span>): Introduction and General Remarks- <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>Good evening all. As has been the case for most of this past year, we are convening tonight\u2019s meeting using both Zoom and UHF repeater platforms rather that our regular in person format. This is being done to conform with statewide requirements for social distancing to deter the spread of Covid 19. Hopefully, with the upcoming availability of the new anti-virus vaccines, this requirement will soon be relaxed and we will be able to have our monthly gatherings at the B\u2019hai center in Efland. As we embark on tonight\u2019s meeting please keep in mind that irrespective of which platform you use, please check into the net using phonetics so that your call may be accurately included on the meeting roster. Also, please be aware that video and audio generated at this meeting is being recorded so that information presented can be accurately included in meeting minutes. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On a different note and as many of you might already be aware, my mother passed away some weeks ago, and I would like to thank those of you who sent well-wishes to my family and me. You will be pleased to know that my father is doing well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
