At the Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday, January 7, the board was very pleased to appoint Jack Spence, N8PMG, as the new ARROW President, following his agreement to accept the position. No candidates had stepped forward by the time of the election in December, so following the by-laws, an appointment was made. We are grateful to Jack for his willingness to lead the club.

The monthly meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 8, 2014, starting officially at 7:30 p.m., though we start gathering at 7:00. The location is room BE-172 at Washtenaw Community College, 4800 East Huron River Drive, Ann Arbor. This is in the Business Education Building on the first floor (find BE on the map above). We should have no problem having access to this room, since classes have not yet started.

As always, visitors are very welcome!

Bruce Graham, KT8TD, our immediate past president, will present on circuit simulation featuring LTSPICE from Linear Technology. It is a free download and has an active Yahoo group.

If you have any questions, call me at (734) 649-2722.

The ARROW board will meet on Tuesday, January 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Red Cross on Packard Road. All ARROW members are invited to attend.

The monthly breakfast at the Classic Cup Cafe will take place on Saturday, December 28 at 9:00. We were contacted by the Classic Cup to inform us that their room would not be available on our usual Saturday because they are having Breakfast with Santa that day. Since December 28 was available, we opted to move our date.

At the December general meeting, the following people were elected to the ARROW Board of Directors:
Harvey Bauss, KB8MUP, Treasurer
Mary Anne Stoner, W8VWY, Secretary
Jay Nugent, WB8TKL, Technical Coordinator
Jim Lommel, WD8RWI, Public Service Coordinator
John Wasciuk, WA8TON/VO1TON, Activities Coordinator

You may notice that we do not have a President. No one stepped forward to take on this role. However, it’s not too late. According to the bylaws, a President may be appointed by the Board of Directors, so if anyone is interested, please let one of us know right away. Also, although he is not elected, the Trustee Delegate was not determined yet because none of the station trustees were present at the meeting and have not expressed their wishes, to my knowledge at least, to the board.
