Discussed selecting a backup to the treasurer, for bank account access.  Should probably select a board member for the job.  Jan is willing, though will be out of state until March. (the bank requires the person selected to show up in person at the bank to take on the role)  Board approved unanimously.

Carol Cooper's radio is up and ready at Bill's as the club's new remote station, although we are currently using Curt's radio because of a power control issue via remote on Carol's radio.  (if the radio loses power, it cannot be turned back on remotely, a UPS would probably fix the issue)

Don Brown's widow (Lorraine) contacted Curt, she has a radio, tuner, etc that needs to find a new home.  Curt and Stan looked at it and have offered to sell it for her at an upcoming hamfest.  It sounds like she is interested in us selling it and the moeny being donated to the club.  A possibly better option would be to place the radio at the Readlyn Library for use in the station Patrick is trying to get set up there.  Lorraine was in agreement with that option.  Stan also has been contacted by another widow with radio equipment that needs to be handled.

Given the weather and access, the repeater upgrades are probably on hold until spring.  Tom Reece (at CFU) would be a good contact for site access when the time comes. (Gary Corte, formerly of CFU Waterworks) is another possible contact.  We need to talk with Chuck (W0ALO) to get more specific information on our last access so we're ready when the time comes.

A check we wrote last year to reimburse a presentor for travel has not been cached, it's being considered a club donation at this point.  Dave is also out of checks, board approved purchase of a box of checks for treasurer use.

Curt and John are on the programs commmittee, though we have nothing currently scheduled, though there are a few ideas in the works.  Valley Lutheran has a robotics club and participates in competitions, they may be willing to do a presentation on robotics.  CF High School has a Rocket Club that may also be interested in presenting to the club.  A DS-Nano presentation by Curt was also suggested.

Board adjourned just prior to club meeting.
