It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Forrest Golden, W1ZAR
Forrest has been a fixture at Summer Field Day for many years, showing up to do the setup and takedown work, and of course was usually at our club meetings. In addition to his amateur radio interests, Forrest was an avid sailor.
His service is at Portsmouth Methodist Church on February 23rd at 10 AM
Happy New Year!
Our first meeting of the year will be at the usual time/location (7 PM on the 2nd Monday, which is January 14th, at KVH Manufacturing – 75 Enterprise DR, Middletown, RI).
Due to other commitments, Portsmouth EMA Director, Ray Perry, KC1IPC, will give a short presentation at 7 PM on the dot. After his presentation we will move into our regular short business meeting, induct new members, discuss the upcoming Winter Field Day event (Jan 26/27), and our plans for the coming year.
Just a reminder for the Thursday breakfast crowd that usually gets together at Chelsea’s. On the FIRST THURSDAY of the month some of us will be having breakfast at Rome Point Cafe in North Kingstown to give the West Bay folks a chance to not drive so far once a month. We get there around 7:45-8 AM and usually are eating by 8:15 AM.
Folks are welcomed to join us!
Just a reminder that we need to turn in a count for the dinner in a week. You can pay online if you go to the “Dinner Party” tab which has all the details about the party.
If you plan on paying at the door (cash or check), please let Jim Sammons know so we can be sure to have enough food on hand.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you aren’t going, please send Jim an email saying you can’t attend. This will avoid interrupting you with further emails or phone calls.
Please contact Jim at jimsa@cox.net
The following officers were elected by the membership during the regular November 12 meeting:
Thanks to all for agreeing to serve, and congratulations!
