THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER
I apologize that this month's newsletter is text only. I would like to thank Myron (WØPBV) for his program that he presented at the last meeting. I think it was very interesting to most members. This past Monday, November 5, Scott and I gave a speech to a local Boy Scout group here in Manhattan. I hope that down the line we will be able to work with these youth and gain more interest in radio. The Scouting members present seemed to have interest in our speech and there was some discussion of the Radio Merit Badge. This coming meeting, which will be November 9, 2007, will be the MAARS annual election of officers. We will choose our leadership over the next year. Persons wanting to run for office or who wish to vote must be paid members in MAARS. MAARS will accept nominations for officers from all and of all licensed amateur radio operators. We will hold our usual eating meeting around 5:30 here in Manhattan at the Sirloin Stockade. Our meeting will be at 7:30 at the Red Cross building here in Manhattan. I hope we will see you all there. MAARS needs your support.
Brian Carter, KCØDWX
