A motion was made by Todd to adopt the July meeting minutes as presented and it was seconded by Mike. The motion passed unanimously.
The August 2024 Secretary/Treasurer’s Report was read by Jeff K.
Ongoing Business:
- Dennis provided a solar report to the membership.
- Testing – Kevin reported that the applicant who was scheduled to test tonight had his work schedule adjusted and so was unable to take the test after all. Kevin would like to have a meeting with all of the VEs via Zoom once things settle down, perhaps in the fall.
- Winter Field Day 2025 – Kevin mentioned that he spoke with the manager of EOTEC and he is excited that HARC may want to hold Winter Field Day at that location. Kevin made a motion that we pursue EOTEC as the location. Seconded by Jeff. Motion passed with one abstention.
- Inventory – Anna asked if the Board of Directors have had a chance to meet and discuss the inventory. They said that they had not.
New Business:
- Dennis had a demonstration to share with the club about Lenz’s Law involving strong magnets and a copper pipe. Dropping the magnets through the center of the copper pipe slowed their fall considerably.
Announcements:
1. Club Breakfast – Saturday, August 17th at Rayz Dayz, Umatilla at 8:00 AM.
- Jeff announced that he has campaign signs available for club members to take and put in their yard if they would like.
The meeting was adjourned by AA7TH at 20:36.
Respectfully submitted by Jeff Kelso, W7JJK.
