President’s Corner

April 30, 2012

I want to make you aware that the meeting night for May was moved up one week from our usual schedule, so you will see that the next meeting is on May 6. This was decided by the members at the April meeting so that the May meeting would not be held on Mother’s Day.

I have received several emails from other organizations concerning some activities that they are planning, and that they have asked us to pass on to our members. Here is one:

Hi,

I will be teaching another One-Day Tech Class on Saturday, June 16, 2012 from 8:30am to 3pm at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, 220 E. Ann St. Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Immediately after the class, the Technician Class license exam will be administered. If this does not conflict with any classes that your club might be offering, please put this news in your next newsletter

Pre-registration is required, and there is a $10 fee to take the class. All fees go to support our club station, WA2HOM, at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. There is also a $15 fee to take the test.

More information is available on the WA2HOM website: http://www.wa2hom.org/next-ham-radio-class-saturday-june-16-2012/. If you have any questions, please reply to this e-mail or phone me at 734-930-6564.

73!
