Congratulations to our newest board member

Thomas Beeman, WB5ROI, was elected to the board of directors.  Thomas has been a member since the beginning and his help will certainly be appreciated.  Our Treasurer, Mark Lyon, K6LYO, has accepted a position in New York, and while I am sure we all wish him great sucess, he is leaving a very large void.  During our May meeting, we will be electing his replacement.  Please give this a lot of thought, as the term for Treasurer is two years.

Field Day Planning is in the works.  Don't forget to mark your calendars.  Field Day this year will be June 28, and 29.  We are planning a different approach this year and I am sure everyone will enjoy it.  We have now begun to accept donations for Field Day Food.  If you would like to donate something toward the feeding effort, see Mike, WM5A, for further details, or email at events@cmsara.org.
Our meeting for April was a great sucess.  Many thanks to Scott, who found out after he left work, that we would not be able to use our normal room, came back to the EOC and made a place for us.  The attendance was great and the VE test session yielded two new hams and two upgrades to general class.  Many thanks to all who attended and special thanks to Jake, KE5KTU, for his insight into NTS message handling.

May 13, 2008 will feature Storm Spotter Training.  Please make plans to attend.  The National Weather Service has a great program and it is very entertaing and informative.  If you know of someone that would be interested, this would be a great opportunity to invite them to a meeting.
Let's all work together to help grow our association.  If everyone would ask a few people to come to a meeting, there would probably be a few new hams.
